Abstract

This paper reports on an ongoing research project at International Islamic University College (IIUCS), Selangor, Malaysia where students from faculty of education are consulted to explicate their experiences utilizing Learning Management System (LMS). LMS is an online learning platform enables stu-dents to acquire knowledge with the help of technologies. One fo-cus group interview was conducted with 25 participants from Bachelor of Teaching English as a Second Language degree pro-gram. Data extracted from the verbatim was analyzed via the-matic analysis. Although the data collected is limited to a small sample, participants had provided insightful feedback, which is informing that LMS is a catalyst towards empowering learners to become independent learner. In an effort to produce quality and independent learners, LMS is seen as a means to assist educators in developing quality online internet based courses and websites as well as to fulfill students' needs in acquiring information any-where and anytime. It then concludes the adoption of LMS and puts forward suggestions for further research.
