8 Functionalities consolidated in an LMS
- Create, store and retrieve content
- Provide access control (password based)
- Serve as a venue for interaction
- Assist in administration: student tracking, collation of grades, record of progress
- Facilitate (or make possible) online assessment: usually formative (e.g., self administered quiz)
- Contain options for timetabling: some means of pacing materials; course calendar
- Act as a resource base: less formal than learning materials (e.g., FAQ, database accessed by keyword search, list of web-based resources)
- Provide access to support services (e.g., online technical support)
tools that course designers and teachers use to create online/digital course content

e-portfolios.
8 ways in which computing can be used for skills development
- develop and test student comprehension of content

- develop decision-making skills through the use of digitally-based simulations
- develop skills of reasoning, evidence-based argument, and collaboration
- enable students to create their own artefacts/online multimedia work
