Has technology facilitated teachers’ work?
Or reduced teacher burnout?
When we set out to study pandemic-related changes
in schools, we thought we’d find that learning management
systems that rely on technology to improve teaching would
make educators’ jobs easier. We believed technology would
mean positive stimulus to teachers. Instead, our data and
analyses showed that teachers whose schools were using
learning management systems had higher rates of burnout.
During the phenomenon of the covid-19 pandemic, when
schools across the country were under lockdown orders,
schools adopted new technologies to facilitate remote learning
during the crisis. These technologies included learning
management systems, which are online platforms that help
educators organize and keep track of their coursework.
We were puzzled to find that teachers who used a
learning management system such as Canvas or Schoology
reported higher levels of burnout. Ideally, these tools should
have simplified their jobs. We also thought these systems
would improve teachers’ ability to organize documents and
assignments, mainly because they would house everything
digitally, and thus, reduce the need to print documents or
bring piles of student work home to grade.
However, the data told a different story. Instead of being
used to replace old ways of completing tasks, the learning
management systems were simply another thing on teachers’
plates.
