In our recent survey faculty reported that the most widely used LMS features (80% of respondents) are; gradebook, announcements, assignments, content/file sharing, and email.  With the exception of ’email’, which doesn’t appear in the ECAR Study, this aligns very closely with the ECAR sample.  What I also found interesting was that FHSU use of discussion board (75%) is considerably higher than those surveyed by ECAR.

The Table below shows the view outside of FHSU.  ECAR collaborated with 157 institutions to collect responses from 13,451 faculty respondents across 7 countries about their technology experiences.
