Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui akses dan kemudahan mahasiswa terhadap teknologi, serta hambatan dan prospek penggunaan Learning Management System (LMS) di Institut Parahikma Indonesia (IPI). Metode campuran sekuensial penjelas digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Ada 16 mahasiswa dari Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris dan empat dosen yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah angket dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akses siswa fasih dalam teknologi dan merasa nyaman memanfaatkan LMS. Hambatan umum mahasiswa dan dosen adalah koneksi bandwidth yang tidak mencukupi dan kurangnya manajemen waktu pribadi, sementara prospek umum mereka adalah peningkatan infrastruktur dan koneksi internet, dan kapasitas besar di LMS untuk mengunggah data, kurangnya pelatihan untuk mahasiswa, fitur yang tidak kompatibel dalam tugas tertentu , dan anggaran terbatas untuk penggunaan internet. Sedangkan prospek mahasiswa adalah aplikasi LMS di Google Play, notifikasi tugas langsung melalui SMS, dan feedback dari dosen. Sebaliknya, prospek dosen adalah bahwa semua materi IPI harus dapat diakses di LMS. Oleh karena itu, institusi perlu memberikan pelatihan LMS kepada mahasiswa, mengevaluasi dosen, dan meningkatkan kapasitas koneksi bandwidth. Selain itu, fitur LMS harus ditingkatkan untuk memaksimalkan fungsi.
