This presenter addresses the following questions:1. How can we develop a conceptual framework for effectively exploring the issues of transforming teaching and learning with technology? 2.

What best practices (based on these principles) exist in current design, teaching and learning strategies for use of course management systems? 4. Is the CMS a potential framework for the transformation of teaching and learning? What roles do the stakeholders (faculty, students, vendors, instructional designers, IT, library, and campus administration) play in that transformation?
