Abstract—The rapid growth of online world and the great evolution in digital technology open new horizons in different domains including education one. Blended learning and e-Learning approaches are new trends that are based on using computers as a medium to deliver and share educational materials which makes education available anytime, and anywhere. Khan suggested eight dimensional e-learning framework which serves as a base to help institutions to plan, design, implement and evaluate their e-learning programs. This paper discusses whether learning management systems at Arab Open University (AOU) meet the eight dimensional e-learning frameworks suggested by Badrul Khans. A detailed description of Khan’s framework and the LMS used at Arab Open University are included in this paper. We claim that the AOU LMS is a good framework for e-learning based on these eight dimensions. Keywords-e-Learning platform; Khan’s framework; LMS; e-Learning; blended learning. I
