Modeling of web-based collaborative learning management system

Abstract

The challenges faced by most learning management systems (LMS) can be classified into two main areas: pedagogical and technical issues. A comprehensive exploration of these interrelated challenges provides valuable insights for developing a new and more effective model for LMS. In this paper, a novel conceptual model for a web-based collaborative LMS is introduced, merging two distinct learning theories: behaviorism and social constructivism. Through an analysis of the strengths and limitations of each theory, the study moves on to outline the fundamental principles and technical features of the proposed LMS model, which stems from this integration. In conclusion, the paper explores the implications of creating user-centered LMS solutions, with a specific focus on addressing the varied requirements of learners.
