Learning Management System
What has to be done

• Learning management systems, particularly
  open-source ones, have a crucial role in bridging
  the digital divide.

  institutions in other countries must integrate
  them with their web sites, portals, library
  catalogs, learning repositories, instant
  messaging, etc.

  materialize the model of coordination-based LMS
  which would contribute to their excellence.
• However, it must not occur at the cost of
  detaching universities from their organizational
