Implementation and Evaluation of A Proposed Framework for Auditing Learning Management Systems in An Egyptian University

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated hybrid education, increasing reliance on learning management systems (LMS). While essential for course delivery, their growing use underscores the need for systematic auditing to ensure quality, security, and institutional trust. This paper presents a streamlined LMS auditing framework covering performance, security, user roles, support, and feedback. Unlike existing models that are fragmented or limited to technical checks, the framework unifies risk analysis, user experience, and policy evaluation, simplifying the process while broadening its scope. Developed through a review of literature, metrics, and policies combined with risk assessment strategies, the framework provides a structured approach to reduce complexity, identify vulnerabilities, and establish effective controls. Its application in a higher education case study demonstrates practical value in assessing LMS performance and informing strategic planning. The contribution presents a concise and adaptable model that enables institutions to safeguard digital assets and enhance hybrid learning environments.
