About Learning Management Systems
Learning management systems (LMS) are online platforms that help organize and deliver learning in a digital space (e.g, Desire2Learn [D2L]). Teachers use them to post course materials, share announcements, collect assignments, and provide feedback, making it easier for students to access everything they need in one place.

Online Learning and Cocurricular Programs: Improving Student Engagement Using D2L Within the Arnold Mitchem Fellows ProgramThe Arnold Mitchem Fellows Program (AMF) is a co-curricular, undergraduate research program where first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students learn about basic research skills in preparation for future undergraduate research opportunities and graduate school outside of their traditional for credit classes. This academic year-long program culminates in students crafting a literature review on a research topic that interests them. The program incorporated Desire2Learn (D2L), which is an online learning platform used in higher education classes, into the program with the goal of strengthening student engagement. Using this technology allowed them to engage their students in asynchronous learning, which Hiltz and Turoff (2002) define as online learning that students can engage on their own time.

Types of LMSs are also covered in order to assist current and prospective instructional designers to identify and select an optimal LMS solution for their organization. Additionally, key stakeholders as well as the usability of the LMS will be crucial in the adoption and maintenance of the software, thus, another important topic discussed in this book. Furthermore, processes such as LMS selection, implementation and evaluation are explored in this book to provide an overview of the steps to be taken before, during and after an LMS adoption.
