  Information and communication technologies brought-in tools and techniques in
the field of education that introduced new concepts of teaching and learning.
Learning management system is one of the key tools used in educational
institutes to facilitate e-learning. There is remarkable digital divide among
urban and rural areas. In this paper, we present a model for providing
e-learning services to remote/rural areas in order to promote and facilitate
modern education. A dedicated resource center, hosting the learning management
system, facilitates e-learning centers through Internet. The overall goal of
this model is to have a cost-effective learning environment equipped with
latest technologies to provide learners an opportunity to get insight into new
information and communication technologies and e-learning environment. The
model offers new teaching methodology with enhance utilization of learning
management system in teaching and learning. Basic characteristics and technical
aspects will be considered as well. The study will also promote development and
usage of open-source technologies.
