Learning management systems (LMS) and their associatedtools have created value for higher education institutions worldwideby improving content deliverability, accessibility, and retrievability.Nevertheless, many studies have criticised these systems for theirteacher-centred approaches, which limit opportunities for social and informallearning. After several decades of institutions using LMS, this researchaims to discuss the success and failure aspects of these LMS fromvarious perspectives, including structure, content, and support for emergingtechnologies. Based on a thematic literature review and analysis, successand failure aspects are organised and verified by LMS experts.Alongside the aspects identified from the literature, these experts alsonoted several additional aspects of success and failure in LMS. The analysisresults overall indicated the success aspects of LMS relate to sevenkey factors: single sign-on, learning management, content management,integration, security, tracking, and group management. Similarly, thefailure aspects could be classified into eight factors: content creation andsharing, communicative features, structure, learning engagement, assessment,user interfaces, social and informal learning, and mobile features.The implications of the research for education institutions, instructors,developers, and system providers, as well as the resulting directions forfuture research, are thus also discussed to help increasing the chances ofdeveloping additional theoretical and practical insights.
