Abstract

The problems of most Learning Management Systems (LMS) are first of all of a pedagogical nature and then of a technical one. Studying these problems, which are interrelated, provides a useful conceptual reference that enables us to design a new model for a more relevant solution. In this paper, a conceptual model of an LMS is presented, based on the hybridization between four learning theories, namely the traditional pedagogy, the behaviorism, the cognitivist, and the social constructivism. We will present at first each of these learning theories by discussing both their advantages and limits. Then, together the main principles of these learning theories and the technical functionalities of the proposed LMS that result from the hybridization of these principles are outlined, fit the needs of their final users, in particular learners.
