This chapter examines the implementation of two learning management systems (LMS) in a university environment. Within the context of a case study and from the perspective of academic users, there is a review of the technological and organizational challenges that arise. There is an in-depth analysis of the implementation in terms of what went well and what should be done differently (i.e., lessons learned). Along with the macro-environmental factors that influence the global e-learning space, the related pedagogical issues, learning models, and technological toolsets are also explored. The authors hope that the experiences chronicled in the case study may act as a lesson to others contemplating such a project of the many technical and organizational issues that need to be addressed, with an emphasis on understanding the importance of the viewpoint of academic users.

Incorporating Virtual Reality aesthetics and semantics can contribute towards transforming the education landscape in both the developed and developing world. This can be realized by VR’s capacity to enable the design of more vibrant and dynamic/interactive multimedia applications that are user centric. VR has a positive impact on e-Learning, which is an emerging education model in Africa. This paper uproots the different initiatives, experiences, and challenges that have been met by various endeavors to employ VR as a tool for education, especially in African universities. Using exploratory approaches, two universities in South Africa and Botswana are reviewed as case studies in order to ascertain the status of VR use in higher education in Africa. The paper finds that the potential of VR education is evident in Africa but needs to be unearthed.

Many studies have been conducted, mainly in a university environment, and researchers have identified both advantages and disadvantages of e-learning. Very little is known about the applicability and suitability of e-learning to vocational and skills-based training. The research presented in this paper evaluates an adaptive e-learning model (INNOVRET) which combines skills-based learning by means of the Competence based Knowledge Space Theory (CbKST) with the principles of self-regulated learning (SRL) for a practically-oriented vocational training area, namely highly skilled heat pump system installation, in Ireland. The research methodology employed to carry out this study consists of a participative study to develop the INNOVRET approach for e-learning for heat pump systems installation and an empirical study carried out to evaluate the INNOVRET system. The results show that it is the IT skills of the installers that determine the way they perceive the system and the whole learning experience, as well as the level of knowledge acquired.

E-learning offers to the student’s didactic tools and course materials over Internet. By distributing tools and materials in this fashion, students isolated from the University environment can still obtain University degrees in many fields. Courses that include laboratory sessions have traditionally required students to be on-site. This is primarily due to the need for laboratory resources to be located in a single site for both practical and safety reasons. This fact hampered the freedom of non traditional (off campus) students to achieve their educational goals. The web adaptations of software packages such as LabVIEW allow control of experiments over Internet. Remote laboratories then become possible. In this framework the Remote Laboratory Distributed on Geographical Network LA.DI.RE. “G.Savastano” of University of Sannio [1] was born, with the aim of developing a virtual learning environment to deliver, through the distance learning methodologies, theoretical lessons as well as laboratory activity on real measurement instrumentation. The paper highlights the interdisciplinary aspect of LA.DI.RE. “G. Savastano”, showing the possibility to provide different real experiments independent of software development environment, thanks to use of an open Learning Management System (LMS) and concerning different didactic fields. In this case the authors present a physics experiment representing a practical session within a Physics course realized in collaboration by researchers of the University of Sannio, in Italy, and University of Thessaloniki in Greece.

Castilla-La Mancha University has decided to implement two tools: WebCT and Moodle, Virtual Campus has emerged: www.campusvirtual.ulcm.es. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of said tool as a primary mode of e-learning expansion in the university environment. It can be used to carry out standard educational university activities in accordance with the guidelines set out by the new European Space for Higher Education. New needs continue to present themselves, not only with regard to the exchange of information and documents, but the complete and integrated management of teaching which is carried out using virtual environments and the Internet: e-learning.
