%X The frequency of online courses using web-based learning has continued to increase in  terms of demand and access. However the effectiveness of online courses particularly in  relation to individual learners’ needs, perceptions, performance and outcomes are  sometimes being questioned. To support for a successful learning system, this study will  harness learners’ insight of online courses and learners’ use of learning management  system (LMS). Much of this study is based on learner insights of the quality and quantity  of their interactions and learning experiences using LMS and social presence in online  courses. Only by understanding learners’ insights can we develop strategies or  guidelines for creating a more inclusive and effective LMS and online courses. This  study was conducted on 224 respondents from the Faculty of Information Technology  and Multimedia Communication, Open University Malaysia. This study allows for  learners’ feedback and an opportunity for the institution to improve the learning system  and nurture e-learning. (Authors' abstract)
