explores the E-Leadership by secondary school principals through a learning management system provided by
3-P Learning organization Australia. This LMS is implemented in more than fifty private schools in order to
increase school effectiveness. This study was conducted under the interpretive paradigm and phenomenology
design was used to explore the phenomena of the Learning Management System. Semi-structured interviews
were conducted with ten principals, coordinators and LMS supervisors and teachers. The results of this
study indicate that decision making, monitoring and communication in this LMS provide extensive support
for school principals in managing their organizations and active participation of teachers consequently increase the effectiveness of e-leadership. Data-based decision making is the consequence of the monitoring, and
communication among the teachers, students, and parents. In order to improve e-leadership, I recommend
school principal should expand the use of updated data of teaching and learn from teachers, students and
parents derived through LMS.
