Online Learning environments...Classroom without walls!

Using a course management system (CMS) or a learning management system (LMS) to structure and organize a classroom outside the constrains of a physical classroom is not a new idea.  It is one that recently has been in the background of information I have been sifting through.  Many different educational bloggers have been proclaiming the usefulness as well as the benefits for the untraditional student.  I have begun to realize several benefits for the student as well as the teacher. This could be used as a virtual extension of my classroom.  I would essentially be teaching 24/7/365.
