It has been believed that technology plays an important role in developing education.

As teachers, we are always looking for ways to have learning essay and fun . In recent years, there has been an increasing adoption and use of various Learning Management Systems (LMSs). These are web- based systems used to plan, deliver and facilitate students learning via the internet (Unwin et al., 2010). They are normally integrated with learning resource tools for audio, video, and text as well as commutation tools (chat, discussions forums, email, and whiteboards), and assessment tools (Pituch & Lee, 2006) In schools , there are a lot of students who need more help and care.With an LMSs, students have access to curriculum and content any time and from anywhere . A LMS is a software used for delivering, tracking and managing training education. LMSs range from systems for managing training educational records to software for distributing courses over the Internet and offering features for online collaboration (Kotzer & Elran, 2011; Mahnegar, 2012). The most popular LMSs are Edmodo,Moodle and Schoology.
