This study assessed the effectiveness of Online Learning Management Systems (LMS) at Kabwe Institute of Technology and found that while adoption levels are high, usage remains largely basic and fragmented. Platforms such as Google Classroom and WhatsApp are widely used, but mainly for administrative purposes rather than enhancing teaching and learning. The findings indicate that LMS platforms have improved accessibility and flexibility for both students and staff. However, their impact on pedagogical engagement and academic performance is limited. Significant challenges, including poor internet connectivity, high data costs, limited access to devices, and inadequate staff training, continue to hinder effective utilization.Although a slight positive relationship exists between LMS usage and academic performance, the overall impact remains modest. The study therefore concludes that LMS at KIT has improved efficiency in course management but has not yet achieved its full potential in transforming learning experiences.To maximize effectiveness, there is a need for a unified LMS strategy, improved infrastructure, enhanced staff training in digital pedagogy, and better integration of technology into teaching practices. Addressing these gaps will enable KIT to fully leverage digital learning for improved educational outcomes.
