dc.description.abstractOver the last decade, online Learning Management System (LMS) services have been utilized by many universities. Desire2Learn (D2L) is the official LMS used by the University of Calgary (U of C). Every student, teaching assistant, and faculty member has access to D2L services. This thesis presents a workload characterization study of the D2L Web site for on-campus and off-campus users based on a period of two calender years, 2015 and 2016. D2L mainly provides online learning services, delivers course content, and monitors student progress. It uses content delivery networks consisting of geographically dispersed nodes. Persistent and parallel connections are used extensively throughout D2L sessions with users. This thesis sheds light upon the usage of modern LMS services like D2L. It utilizes network-level data for an extended period of time. Our measurement results highlight the impacts of network latency on the user-perceived D2L performance at the U of C.en_US
