Abstract

This research aims to examine the use of Learning Management system in tourism higher education by gaining perspectives from the lecturers as Generation Y and the Universities Students as generation Z. Analyzing views related to experiences and expectations of the learning system in the future. Focus group discussion and a semi-structured interview were conducted, followed by an extensive literature review. Lectures and students prefer to use blended class learning which combines traditional face to face attractive learning classroom and e-learning management system as necessary enhancements. Most of the Lectures prefer to share the reading materials, upload and conduct the assignment from the online learning management system, but they still felt that it is better to discuss with students directly in the class. However, Students prefer to learn from the reading materials, consult the assignment and do interactive study in the classroom, but agree if they can download the documents online. The system would not replace the strong point of interactive learning in the class. Unaccustomed and incapability along with instability of the internet access became the obstacles. Meanwhile, most of them agree that the future of LMS must be easier to use through mobile learning devices
