Objective - At present, higher educational institutions are heavily reliant on Learning Management Systems (LMS) to effectively manage communication with students and to enable technology-based learning. However, the success of LMS depends mostly on the adoption of LMS by students and teachers. The aim of this study is to incorporate different important factors of the Technology Acceptance Model to compare the behavioural intention of students and teachers to adopt LMS.

Methodology/Technique - Structured instruments are used for a sample of academics and undergraduates as the main contributors of LMS. The attitude towards LMS adoption of academics and students was compared.

Finding - The results suggest that the attitudes of teachers and students towards LMS adoption significantly differ as both contributors and users of LMS.

Novelty - In addition, the research highlights different aspects of LMS that can be manipulated for the successful adoption of LMS

Type of Paper - Empirical.
