Скачать или смотреть When Good Tech Goes Bad: LMS Design, Technostress, and Low-Tech Faculty Exclusion

he source is a detailed academic study examining how the design of major Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Brightspace, Blackboard, and Canvas, coupled with institutional mandates, negatively impacts instructors who identify as low-tech faculty. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and qualitative data, to isolate specific features like gradebook configuration and analytics dashboards as primary sources of technostress and exclusion. Findings indicate that complex platform features and policies requiring their use often force low-tech faculty into unsustainable workarounds, but this can be mitigated. Individualized training formats, including one-to-one coaching and sandbox practice courses, are identified as the most effective ways to reduce technostress and support more inclusive LMS adoption across the institution. The study argues that institutions must shift their focus from blaming faculty "resistance" to addressing systemic misalignments between LMS design and faculty support.
