This paper examines and illustrates pre-planning strategies for online learning programs that utilize course and learning management systems (CMSs and LMSs) and looks at the advantages and disadvantages of such systems according to certain basic criteria for effective, successful teaching and learning. Well in advance of adopting an online course or learning management system, institutional administrators or program directors should take the time to assess faculty receptiveness to and facility with Web-enhanced or online learning programs. This is a crucial preliminary step that is often missed. Colleges and universities need to have a training facility of sorts, a support system in place for their teaching faculty as they learn this new approach to teaching. Some effective strategies include: establish a plan for professional development; organize study groups; establish curriculum development teams; and recruit technology coaches. The best approach to faculty training involves blending these strategies to help convince faculty that the system works, and that help is there if they need it. A chart is presented, which details the CMS and LMS features than can supplement, extend, and emulate the activities of teaching and learning. Keeping in mind the criteria of effective teaching and learning, and how these criteria are represented by available learning systems, a thorough exploration of tool features should be performed in order to satisfy the basic needs of instructors and students. Another chart lists course, collaboration, assessment, and student/management tools. (AEF)
