Pedagogy is a method that handles the ethos and culture of instruction from educators and the learning of learners. Pedagogy of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) refers to the interactions among the teacher, children, and learning environment based on ICT. It is a discipline that deals with the theory and practice of teaching strategies, teaching actions, teaching judgments, and decisions. It is also the understanding and needs of students as well as the background and interests of an individual one. In this paper, we have designed the pedagogical learning environment from the perspective of ICT education. In our methodology of the pedagogy for ICT, education includes the interaction among different elements. The methodology improves to propagate convenience differently into the educational environment. We are also building a hybrid model for the ICT development program. The hybrid model represents the combination of standards, stages, year level, and class level as well as brings it into one umbrella. We have constructed the pedagogical learning environment theoretically from the perspective of ICT education to the consideration of outcome-based ICT learning. Outcome-based education is a fundamental element for building any nation completely around the globe.

Student is the key of the educational process, where students’ creativity and interactions are strongly encouraged. There are many tools embedded in Learning Management Systems (LMS) that considered as a goal evaluation of learners. A problem that currently appeared is that assessment process is not always fair or accurate in classifying students according to accumulated knowledge. Therefore, there is a need to apply a new model for better decision making for students’ enrollment and assessments. The proposed model may run along with an assessment tool within a LMS. The proposed model performs analysis and obtains knowledge regarding the classification capability of the assessment process. It offers knowledge for course managers regarding the course materials, quizzes, activities and e-games. The proposed model is an accurate assessment tool and thus better classification among learners. The proposed model was developed for learning management systems, which are commonly used in e-learning in Egyptian language schools. The proposed model demonstrated good accuracy compared to real sample data (250 students).
... Studies revealed that use of ICTs in education have improved students' attitudes toward learning, development of teachers' technology skills and increased community's access to education and literacy [22]. Implementation of LMS in Greek high school showed that students developed better concepts, increased the amount of knowledge and use of their computers for knowledge acquisition [23]. The impact of socio-economic factors on girls and women's access to ICT education and training in a rural South African environment are studied and suggested strategies for improved access to ICT education and training [24]. ...

E-learning has made rapid strides in recent years thanks to the advances in educational technology. Many educational institutions have started e-learning. In e-learning, there is a need for administration, documentation, delivery of the course content and tracking students' performances all of which are done by the help of a software called Learning Management System (LMS). A robust LMS is a requirement for achieving the goals of the institution providing e-learning. There are basically three kinds of LMS: open source, commercial and institution-based (self-developed). All of them have advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the type of LMS to be used by any institution depends on the decision makers of that institution. Decision makers in Kirikkale University chose to develop its own LMS depending on the individual needs of its distance education center. In this study, a new learning management system called KUZEM LMS, created by the software development team of Kirikkale University and used in the Distance Education Center of the same university is aimed to be introduced. The features of the KUZEM LMS are given in detail and a comparison of it is made with the other LMSs.
... Considering teachers' professional development as an integral part of technology and curriculum integration, we can deduce that their success as educators, in today's digital age, depends on their ability to communicate effectively with various technology-mediated environments. In recent years, we have witnessed a growing introduction of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) in all levels of education in Greece (Manitsaris, Perdos & Pavlidis, 2006;Pentaris et al., 2008;Karasavvidis, 2011). Innovative teachers contemplate on their current teaching problems and identify e-learning as a means that could offer some good solutions (Heinze & Procter, 2004;Ajala, 2009). ...

E-learning with the use of Learning Management Systems, has been increasingly adopted in Primary, Secondary and Higher Education with the expectation to increase students' motivation and infuse activity-centred learning strategies with various educational benefits. This study has investigated the initial perceptions of Greek teachers about the integration of LAMS, a Learning Activity Management System, in the educational praxis. Through a multifaceted research method, involving a small scale participatory action research, the research team attempted to investigate the preconditions required to integrate LAMS in the everyday lesson. Two tutorial workshops were organized with the participation of 46 educators from geographically diverse urban areas, from K-12 to Tertiary Education. Results indicated that teachers have developed a positive attitude towards LAMS and the use of collaborative online tools during the educational process. Although teachers have certain objections on integrating LMSs, which stem mainly from the current status of the Greek educational system, they accept relative advantages of integrating online collaborative approaches over the traditional face-to-face approach. Well-organized and carefully implemented tutorial workshops can spark teachers' interest and bring about change in the educational process. Small scale interventions such as these can prove to foster dialogue among teachers of various backgrounds and set the foundations to create online communities of practice for innovative teachers.

The evolution in Internet and Multimedia Technology and the continuously increasing demand for enhanced remote and mobile services render as essential the adaptation of educational material in these requirements. The main topic addressed in this paper is to propose an alternative process for students attending courses. It refers to multiple types of students meaning that the educational material can be accessed by in campus, remote and mobile students. This paper describes a methodology for creating and adapting synchronous and asynchronous communication for each type of students. The educational material, such as SCORM based courses and video lectures, are transmitted via streaming media technologies, through an open source greek LMS, called ASDL.
