Prototyping a New Smart Learning Management System Based on the NoSQL

Abstract

The context of this work is that of prototyping a disciplinary information space for a new LMS. The work is specifically in the field or seeking to promote, using information technology from a distance, a collective knowledge construction. The approach is to first think about the conditions for creating a real LMS between learners and designing the IT environment that supports this LMS. The authors chose to base on the hybridization between four learning theories as a basis for teaching this LMS, namely the traditional pedagogy, behaviorism, cognitivism, and social constructivism. These pedagogies have already proven themselves, mostly in learning situations in the classroom. The LMS consists of different activity spaces for teaching and learning activities. The authors limit themselves in this work to the prototyping of disciplinary information space for a new smart LMS based on IMS-LD, the NoSQL, MongoDB database, and the Symfony framework.
