Abstract

The main goal of this chapter is to share experience on implementing LMS in startup institutions in developing, emerging, and developed countries. The chapter is specifically focused on startups: institutions with developing academic culture, evolving IT infrastructure and with no legacy LMS. The chapter will begin by examining current developments in LMS selection criteria and implementation success factors, highlighting the specific needs of young schools. The paper will then consider project expectations grounded to three separate cases in Nigeria, Russia, and South Korea. It will describe project dynamics for those three implementations as well as outline lessons learned. This experience can help practitioners in higher education to streamline LMS selection and implementation, to improve the sustainability of LMS projects, and to avoid common project misdirection.
