  The concept of E-learning in Universities has grown rapidly over the years to
include not just only a learning management system but also tools initially not
designed for learning such as Facebook and advanced learning tools, for example
games, simulations and virtualization. As a result, Cloud-based LMS is being
touted as the next evolution of the traditional LMS. It is hoped that Cloud
based LMS will resolve some of the challenges associated with the traditional
LMS implementation process. In a previous study, we reported that lack of
involvement of faculty and students in the LMS implementation process results
in the limited use of the LMS by faculty and students. The question then is,
Will the cloud-based LMS resolve these issues? We conducted a review of
literature and presented an overview of the traditional LMS, cloud computing
and the cloudbased LMS and we described how the cloud computing LMS resolve
issues raised by faculty and students. we find that even though, cloud-based
LMS resolve most of the technical issues associated with the traditional LMS,
some of the human issues were not resolved. We hope that this study draws
attention to non-technical issues associated with the LMS implementation
process.
