Organizing+Learning+on+Online

In 2005, one of my previous preservice teacher education students created a futuristic story of the classroom in which she would teach someday. In her story, she spoke of her classroom. Her classroom would be composed of large visual screens with individual pictures of her students displayed. Instead of the students actually being present in her class, they would each just pop up on their screen. The teacher would interact with the students on screen. Students would not be present to receive or complete paper assignments, so they would have to turn in assignments online.

One of the features of WEb 2.0 is the ability to "go paperless." Using Web 2.0 Learning Management Systems, such as [|Blackboard], [|Study Wiz] , and [|Moodle] , students, teachers and administrators can post lesson plans, completed assignments and other tasks, all without using paper. the purpose of this article is to:
 * further define online learning management systems
 * examine the history of online learning
 * examine several learning management systems

What is an online learning management system?

Online Learning management systems are database driven software packages that allow administrators, teachers and students to gain access to personalized information and tools.
