<strong> This work is mainly based on the prototyping of a disciplinary information space for a new LMS. Our work is first to think about the conditions for creating a real LMS between learners and teachers. We have chosen to base ourselves on the hybridization between four learning theories as the basis for teaching this LMS, namely traditional pedagogy, behaviorism, cognitivism and social constructivism. These pedagogies have already proven themselves, mainly in classroom learning situations. The LMS consists of different activity spaces for teaching and learning activities. We limit ourselves in this work to the prototyping of disciplinary information space for a new LMS based on IMS-LD, NoSQL MongoDB database, and Symfony framework.</strong>
