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. Important issues about technology, pedagogy and management have unfolded.

You will be asked to share your findings at the end.

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). ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],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). ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],EMD

Conclusions: Best Practices Effective online Teaching and Learning Can we use Moodle to implement effective online teaching and learning? Can Moodle be customized to match my teaching and learning model needs? Does Moodle fit well with the student-centered model? Does Moodle fit well with effective teaching/learning at distance? Do you think you can use Moodle to implement the effective learning-teaching strategy you identified (in the learning activity?) EMD
