Abstract

This study examines the technological and organizational readiness of higher education institutions in Indonesia for the implementation of a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS). A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 155 respondents consisting of lecturers, academic and administrative staff, information technology personnel, and academic managers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The analysis included descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that technological readiness was categorized as high, with a mean score of 4.03, while organizational readiness recorded a mean score of 3.91. Overall cloud-based LMS implementation readiness also reached a high level, with a mean score of 3.98. Technological readiness had a positive and significant effect on LMS implementation readiness, while organizational readiness demonstrated a stronger significant effect. Together, both dimensions explained 61.5% of the variance in implementation readiness (R² = 0.615). These findings indicate that successful cloud-based LMS implementation requires not only adequate technological infrastructure but also strong managerial commitment, institutional policies, human resources, training, financial support, and inter-unit coordination.
