Towards an Intelligent Learning Management System: The A/B/C-TEACH Approach

Abstract

The new dimensions of e-community and e-identity have justified the integration of innovative methodologies in the design, implementation and development of the teaching-learning process at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The growing adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) has led to the introduction of creative teaching/learning approaches and to the promotion of different educational contexts within the online environment. From this perspective, the A/B/C-TEACH project (http://abcteach.fmh.ulisboa.pt/) is presented here, exploring the ways effective teaching could be accomplished when bridging the fields of affective (a)-, blended (b)- and collaborative (c)-learning into a hybrid, LMS-based, enhanced teaching-learning environment. New guidelines about the enhancement of LMS-based teaching/learning processes are presented, contributing to the enrichment of the HEI services and re-examination of educational policies/practices.
