The solutions provided by the learning management systems (LMS) facilitated online instructions and helped form a community of learning and support. With the rapid increased usage during the pandemic and the return to face-to-face post-pandemic, an in-depth analysis on lasting changes in students’ engagement and the instructors’ use of the systems during and after the pandemic is needed. This study aims at providing the analysis results on the differential usage of the learning management systems in a chronological time frame and on a course-level-specific aspect. Analysis conducted on the LMS usage data of chemistry courses between Fall 2019 and Fall 2021 suggests unique patterns, depending on the course levels. The extent of students’ interaction with peers and course materials varied for different course levels. The degree of usage of learning management systems by instructors also depended on the course levels. Instructors in lower-level courses (1000 and 2000 level courses) continued to use learning management systems extensively after the pandemic, while instructors in upper-level courses (3000 and 4000 level courses) rebounded to their pre-pandemic level of usage after resuming face-to-face instructions.
