UUM Online Learning was the third LMS used by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) to perform all teaching and learning activities through web applicatons.The first LMS introduced in UUM was the Learning Care which was a third party software that incurred high maintenance costs.Consequently, it was instantly replaced by an inhouse developed LMS, known as Learningzone, in July 2009.The transition time from the Learning Care to Learningzone took approximately TWO (2) semesters from July 2009 until Januari 2010 before the Learning Care was fully replaced
