Willingness of higher education faculty to complete training on the course management system (CMS) at their institutions has been positively associated with the perceived compatibility of the CMS with faculty teaching style. The objective of this analysis was to determine characteristics of faculty that are associated with perceived compatibility of the CMS with their teaching style. In a multivariate model, lower rank and longer length of use were positively associated with perceived CMS compatibility, and level of compatibility differed significantly by department. To increase CMS compatibility with teaching style, academic administrators could provide targeted training to those in higher ranks or who have limited experience with the CMS. Future researchers should determine why teaching using the CMS is perceived as more compatible in some departments compared to others
