Abstract: The study aims to find out the SAKAI LMS knowledge level of graduate students at the University of Ghana and whether the system is effective. The study is a quantitative one and is based on the positivist research paradigm. Using the multi-stage sampling technique, a total of 180 graduate students were selected for the study. The main research instrument used in the study was questionnaires. The findings of this study indicated that the level of knowledge on the features of the SAKAI LMS was low. Further, the study found that males had more knowledge in comparison to their female counterparts. The study again found that there were no statistically significant differences between age and the level of knowledge of the features of the SAKAI LMS using the chi-square test of independence. The study recommends that university students should be trained on the features of the LMS.
