Learning Management System and the Underlying Learning Theories: Towards a new Modeling of an LMS
Abstract
The problems of most Learning Management Systems (LMS) are first of all of a pedagogical nature and then of a technical one. Studying these problems, which are interrelated, provides a useful conceptual reference that enables us to design a new model for a more relevant solution. In this paper, a conceptual model of an LMS is presented, based on the hybridization between four learning theories, namely the traditional pedagogy, the behaviorism, the cognitivist, and the social constructivism. We will present at first each of these learning theories by discussing both their advantages and limits. Then, together the main principles of these learning theories and the technical functionalities of the proposed LMS that result from the hybridization of these principles are outlined, fit the needs of their final users, in particular learners.The submitting author warrants that the submission is original and that she/he is the author of the submission together with the named co-authors; to the extend the submission incorporates text passages, figures, data or other material from the work of others, the submitting author has obtained any necessary permission.
