This openness of learning resources requires new approach to adapt a way of delivering teaching that helps to achieve the learning objectives of the students. Therefore, learning management system (LMS) has become a necessity for all educational institutions especially in the higher education sector in Bangladesh. Except some private universities there is no use of LMS for teaching-learning in this country. However, for high learning motivation of students an LMS 'Schoology' has introduced in some departments and institutes of Dhaka University.
