Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some pedagogical issues surrounding e-learning systems. We have been involved in distance education and e-learning for the last 15 years and developed education and training delivered to a wide range of audiences. Based on our experiences, results from evaluation studies we conducted, and the literature in the field we provide a constructive critique of LMS and discuss some guidelines for future developments of e-learning systems. The emphasis will be on the needs of the online teacher and how these needs can best be supported by the design of appropriate technologies.
