These cohabit learningenvironments with stu<strong>de</strong>nts to create rich, face-to-face learning interactions. This opens up exciting newpossibilities. Most educational s<strong>of</strong>tware is <strong>de</strong>signed to foster stu<strong>de</strong>nts' learning outcomes but littleattention in terms <strong>of</strong> teaching staff, which will use the fact together with the stu<strong>de</strong>nts.This paper presents a pedagogical study <strong>of</strong> two significantly mo<strong>de</strong>ls <strong>of</strong> educational s<strong>of</strong>tware: Ael andMoodle, after many years. It shows the relationship between particular elements <strong>of</strong> the teachers'pedagogy and the characteristics <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>de</strong>sign. . It shows the relationship between particularelements <strong>of</strong> the teachers' pedagogy and the characteristics <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>de</strong>sign. In this mo<strong>de</strong>l, the”classroom atmosphere” is embed<strong>de</strong>d in the human–computer interface scenarios and elements, the”teaching strategy” in the <strong>de</strong>sign <strong>of</strong> the browsing strategies <strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware, and the “learning strategy” inthe particular forms <strong>of</strong> interaction with the s<strong>of</strong>tware.The mo<strong>de</strong>ls <strong>de</strong>monstrates significant links between the study <strong>of</strong> Pedagogy and the study <strong>of</strong> InformationTechnology in Education and has implications for the relationship between these two areas <strong>of</strong> researchand consequently for teacher training.

Acestea <strong>of</strong>eră medii <strong>de</strong>învățare cu elevii pentru a crea interacțiuni bogate, față-în-față cu învățarea interactivă. Acest lucru<strong>de</strong>schi<strong>de</strong> posibilități noi şi incitante. Însă, cele mai multe s<strong>of</strong>tware-uri educaționale sunt concepute pentrua stimula rezultatele <strong>de</strong> învățare, dar cu prea puțină atenție din punctul <strong>de</strong> ve<strong>de</strong>re al cadrului didactic, acelui care îl va utiliza, <strong>de</strong> fapt, împreună cu elevii.Această lucrare prezintă un studiu din punct <strong>de</strong> ve<strong>de</strong>re pedagogic asupra a două mo<strong>de</strong>le semnificative <strong>de</strong>s<strong>of</strong>tware educațional: Ael şi Moodle. Acesta arată relația dintre elementele specifice ale pedagogieipr<strong>of</strong>esorilor şi caracteristicile <strong>de</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware <strong>de</strong> proiectare.
