Abstract—The need to study during the pandemic drove
students of all grade levels to pursue online education. Some
Indonesian schools and colleges developed the LMS platform to
facilitate online learning. LMS (Learning Management Systems)
is a novel concept for the majority of pupils. This study explored
the experiences and expectations of students using LMS at an
Indonesian government university. This is a qualitative study
comprised of interviews. Twenty university students were
recruited for interviews. The interview findings were then coded
to identify major themes. The interview showed three primary
themes: the benefits of employing an LMS, the difficulties of
utilizing an LMS, and the future of LMS. The majority of
students enjoyed using the LMS during their studies and
encountered no operational difficulties. However, the biggest
difficulty is the pupils’ poor internet connection, as they access
the Internet from their rural homes. The findings suggested that
in the future, following the COVID-19 pandemic, LMS could
serve as a replacement for the traditional learning process, since
many students have realized its benefits.
