Abstract:
The objective of this study is to engage in a practical
analysis that will investigate the effects of using Blackboard Learn as
a learning platform for higher education students in Lesotho using
Botho University as a case study. A mixed method approach was
adopted for the study. Data was collected using in-depth interviews
and a questionnaire from 132 participants randomly selected for the
quantitative aspect and 30 participants purposively selected for the
qualitative aspect, from a sample size of 162 in three faculties.
Content analysis was used to evaluate the data from interviews. The
results have shown a positive impact of Blackboard on students’
performance. The findings reveal that Integrative and Dynamic
Blackboard are more suitable for enhancing students’ academic
performance at all levels. The results of the study can be used to
encourage other institutions of higher learning in Lesotho to begin
implementing Blackboard for improved academic performance.
