Abstract
Digital transformation in education is expected to progress teaching and learning. To meet this expectation, new types of classrooms called flexible learning environments are designed where digital resources such as learning management systems (LMS) are integrated. This raises the question of how LMS are experienced by teachers in flexible learning environments and how their teaching practice and competence development is supported by the LMS. In this study, ten teachers working in flexible working environments have been interviewed about their experiences with LMS. The study resulted in four themes of experiences (1) Lack of adoption, (2) Control within the system, (3) Collaboration and competence development, (4) Direct feedback and interactions. The insights of the study contributes with implications for choosing and integrating LMS in flexible learning environments.
