Learning Management Systems (LMS)

Learning Management Systems, the title says it all...a systems that manages our learning. An example of this is Blackboard, commonly used for the management of individual subjects at CQU. Moodle is another example, and it is being used throughout FAHE11001 (http://moodle.cqu.edu.au/login/index.php).

Learning Management Systems are a beneficial e-learning tool as it incorporates all three elements from Oliver's ICT Learning Design Model; Learning Tasks, Learning Resources and Learning Support (Oliver 1999). Together they are helping to provide all the information a student needs for the topic in question.
