This paper presents the functionality and overall architecture of an eTesting system designed to operate as an integrated part of a virtual eLearning space. The eTesting system provides distant eTesting facilities available to all registered users (e.g. students, educators, test content authors and all others involved in the testing process). An overview of the IoT paradigm is made. The authors' vision of an IoT eLearning ecosystem is described. The possibilities for integrating the presented eTesting system as a proactive unit in an IoT eLearining ecosystem are analyzed and examined. The conceptual approaches adopted by the eTesting system are analyzed in the context of the goal IoT integration. An architecture specifying the integration of RESTful web services with an assessment BDI agent system managing the eTesting processes are explained. Finally, an overview of the proposed eTesting system is provided in the aspect of its compatibility and integration within the virtual eLearning space.
