title: Learning management systems' evaluation focuses on technology not learning.
abstract: Learning Management Systems (LMS) are widely used in educational institutions around the world. The purpose of this poster is to review the characteristics of evaluations of these systems consulting two kinds of sources: Peer-reviewed journals and Web documents. Our results show that the current emphasis is on evaluating the technology, which suggests the need for a theory/pedagogy driven evaluation focused on educational outcomes. Introduction
