The findings reveal that LMS usability positively impacts the organization and access to study materials, thereby enhancing the learning experience. Interactive features within the LMS increase student engagement and motivation, while comprehensive resources improve English proficiency. Challenges include the need for better technical support and fair online assessments. The study recommends enhancing the user interface, increasing interactivity, ensuring content relevance, providing personalized learning paths, and improving technical support to optimize LMS effectiveness. Future research should explore specific LMS features contributing to academic success and the long-term impact of LMS usage across various disciplines. | en_US |
