Abstract(s)
The use of Laptops and the Internet has produced the technological conditions for instructors and
students can take advantage from the diversity of online information, communication, collaboration
and sharing with others. The integration of Internet services in the teaching practices can be
responsible for thematic, social and digital improvement for the agents involved. There are many
benefits when we use a Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, to support the
lectures in higher education. We also will consider its implications for student support and online
interaction, leading educational agents to a collaborating of different learning environments, where
they can combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction, blended-learning, and
increases the possibilities for better quality and quantity of human communication in a learning
background.
In general components of learning management systems contain synchronous and asynchronous
communication tools, management features, and assessment utilities. These assessment utilities
allow lecturers to systematize basic assessment tasks. Assessments can be straightaway delivered
to the student, and upon conclusion, immediately returned with grades and detailed feedback.
Therefore learning management systems can also be used for assessment purposes in Higher
Education.
