Although their considerable potential in the construction of knowledge and competence development, the LMS can generate a real pedagogical success only if, their use relies on solid and proven learning theories.
In the next part, we will evoke the transposition of the use of four learning theories in the design and development of LMS, namely the traditional pedagogy, the behaviorism, the cognitivism, and the social constructivism. For that purpose, we will do the correspondence between the tools available in LMS and the learning theories to which they refer. As a latter part will show, the hybridization of these learning theories that we have judged more important and relevant to our modeling work can only be a source of enrichment to improve the quality of online learning.

Me too I am very happy to see a young woman interested in e-learning like me :)
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 new conceptual model of an LMS is presented. The model, which stems from a methodological and systemic approach, is based on the hybridization between four learning theories, namely the traditional pedagogy, the behaviorism, the cognitivism, 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. We finally discuss the implications of the new conceptual model for how to design and develop new LMS that fit the needs of their final users, in particular learners.
For this reason we have ask this question: To what degree of specificity the learning theories could promote the online learning?
