Several factors have triggered the birth and growth of online education since the 90s, such as coverage, flexibility, or mobility, among others. Some universities in the world are currently shifting from the traditional model of face-to-face education into the online distance-education model. Many universities are becoming dual-mode universities (face-to-face & online), and a few others are totally online. However, the transition has not been easy.

“ Instead of the pure technological considerations, it is important to understand the basic components of what constitutes an  e-learning ecosystem  (Ismail, 2002)”  One of the most crucial prerequisites in the implementation of e-learning and particularly LMSs is the careful consideration of  underlying pedagogy , or at least to analyze  how e-learning works  (Govindassamy, 2002)  It is important to go back to the  essence of online teaching  to consider if the LMS matches and fits the academic tasks and goals. Concretely, it is important to recall what LMSs are designed for and what  teaching-learning activities  should be accomplished through them. “The understanding of the online  teaching framework  will specify a learning-systems architecture for pedagogical development and systems integration (Ismail, 2002)”.

Best Practices Effective online Teaching and Learning Context:  What a LMS can & needs to do well ? At their simplest, “LMSs are software packages that support the management of learning in an organization (Dean, 2002)”.  LMSs are  systems   based on pedagogical strategies   that provide instructors with a set of tools and a framework to design and deploy course contents and learning materials online , which allow faculty to teach and manage courses online, the management of the communication and interactions at distance among the learning community, teachers-students, students-students, and also with the administration (Meerts, 2003; Morgan, 2003).  Provide useful content Reading assignments Learning activities where the student interacts with content usefully and productively EMD
Best Practices Effective online Teaching and Learning Context:   LMSs are  mainly designed to support collaborative learning communities which can undertake either online or onsite education, or both, offering multiple modes of learning from self-paced work, to scheduled classes, to group learning  (Hall, 2002).  What a LMS can & needs to do well ? Provide useful content Reading assignments Learning activities where the student interact swith content usefully and productively EMD
EMD Best Practices Effective online Teaching and Learning LMSs are configured to contain various  technological and pedagogical tools  that provide a Web (virtual) central location to: deliver  course specifications;  publish  information that is related to the course; provide  specifications, directions, instruction and  models of assignments ;  supply  the learning community with  communicational tools  for  discussion ;  include specific areas for  collaborative work ;  enable  group process for development,  but  self-paced learning  is possible as well;  develop and  deploy  Web-based products,  make  available  ongoing students’  assessment  (Dabbagh, 2001).
