Abstract
Learning Management Systems (LMS) augment and boost teaching and learning through online classroom environments. They also incorporate and encompass inclusive education(Bradley 2021). UsingLMS allows educators to facilitate discussions, design online activities, set learning expectations, provide options for students, and render assistance in problem-solving. Students become more engaged and enthusiastic in learning and because they are motivated, intelligence and cognition are optimized. However, it is the responsibility of educators to manage these systems effectively and competently to accentuate cognition. On the other hand,inclusive education instructs students in the same environment and affirms diversity, equityand equality. An inclusive environment ensures that all students feel comfortable, safe, and motivated to do their best. It is a fact that the use of LMS is rapidly changing teaching and learning. Dalton (2017) resolutely affirmed that the availability of technology in education facilitates inclusion. United Nations (2017) also affirmed that technology has the potential to support inclusive education. Thus, LMS can encourage authentic inclusive environments that embrace allstudents, especially those who are disabled. Salas-Pilco et al. (2022) noted that the positive effects of technology depend solely on how it is appliedin teaching. They also emphasized thatbecause these new technologiesoffer more equal opportunities for learning they can embrace inclusive education. Salas-Pilco et al. (2022) acknowledged that while there is no concrete formula for creating inclusive classrooms, educational institutions are free to use their approach to genuinely create inclusion.
