Web-service-based, Dynamic and Collaborative E-learning

This paper describes an on-going effort to investigate problems and approaches for achieving Web-service-based, dynamic and collaborative e-learning. In this work, a Learning Content Definition Model is used to model distributed and sharable learning resources as content objects. Distributed and sharable software systems/components for supporting e-learning are modeled as software objects. Both types of objects are uniformly published as Web-services in a constraint-based Web-service registry and made sharable and reusable. An extended Web-service infrastructure provides a standard framework for the modeling, registration, discovery, binding and invocation of these objects. In this work, we also introduce a Learning Process Definition Model and a Learning Process Execution Engine for specifying and executing learning process models, which represent instructional modules in the forms of activity trees. An Event-Trigger-Rule Server is integrated with the Learning Process Execution Engin...
