Conventional education has taken on a new meaning in the last several years. It's no longer necessary to be in class to learn, due to the internet and modern technologies. If you're online, you can obtain a great education anytime and whenever you choose. A new age has dawned with the advent of online schooling. With the advent of learning management systems and a rise in home computer use, more and more students and teachers are turning to online learning environments. Learning management system implementation is a significant decision for every higher education institution. Student-faculty engagement may be encouraged through virtual chats, discussion forums and announcement publishing. The purpose of this study was to uncover issues caused by the new LMS, which affected student academic performance. This study was done utilising a quantitative research approach. Three campuses in Sahiwal were selected as the study population for the virtual university, which enrolled 200 students. As a study sample, 120 pupils were randomly selected. For data collection, a self-developed questionnaire was used. Findings of the study revealed that students must be notified before any changes are made to the Learning Management System (LMS). Some of their academic activities will also be affected by this new structure. There was a consensus among students that the new system was less user-friendly than the old one. Videos showing students how to use a new Learning Management System were also recommended by the researchers (LMS).
