Abstract
We have been running a learning management system called “In Assistant” at Iwate University since 2007 and users have been steadily increasing. This paper examines requirements for large-scale and sustainable operation of such learning management systems. In addition to developing systems in response to some observations made from preceding cases, the committee in charge of faculty development have engaged in development and management of this “In Assistant” system. Thus, we set the aim of this system to be for faculty development and dedicated to providing trainings for users to promote their understanding. As a result, we identified that the sustainable management of this system requires not only the functions given to the system but also building user support mechanisms including continuous trainings for users, especially targeting new users.
