Abstract:
With the rapid proliferation of distance learning, each school confronts the difficult problem of choosing and managing an appropriate technological environment that fits its budget, technical resources, curriculum, pedagogy, and profile of the student body. This book focuses on the interaction between learning management systems and relevant teaching methodologies to bring attention to developments in distance learning technologies and programs. It covers commercial and open-source LMSs as well as technologies used for synchronous and asynchronous course delivery, offering a comprehensive discussion of factors influencing the transition from one LMS to another. Discussing topics such as virtual labs, electronic portfolios, and technological solutions related to the problems of plagiarism, student tracking, assessment, and security of e-learning environment, the book is a comprehensive guide on the available technological solutions in the area of online education.
