This working paper argues that while a learning management system is suitable for distance learning, the wider scope of e-learning requires not just an LMS but a set of tgools, characterized in seven layers or types of service. Good discussion, moving in the same general direction as other commentators cited here. "The advent of Web 2.0 should enable educators to understand the needs of teachers and learners using technology enabled services, so that education desktops can be simply designed to specifically suit the needs of teachers and learners, and at the same time provide a large set of choices for services, information, and data."
