Abstract


This study aims to analyze the use of the EdLink Learning Management System (LMS) and its effect on the learning motivation of postgraduate students at IAIN Parepare. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The sample consisted of 35 active postgraduate students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. Descriptive statistics were used to identify patterns of EdLink LMS usage, including the duration and frequency of access, as well as to describe the supporting and hindering factors perceived by students. Simple linear regression was applied to test the effect of EdLink LMS use on students’ learning motivation. The findings show that most students had used EdLink since their first semester (77.14%) and accessed it several times a week (68.57%). The regression analysis revealed that the use of EdLink LMS had a positive and significant effect on learning motivation, with an R Square value of 0.447. These findings indicate that optimizing LMS implementation and strengthening technical support are important strategies for enhancing students’ learning motivation.
