The paper presents the work of the Elena project. The contribution of this paper is twofold: The first part of the paper elaborates on the notion of learning services. Learning services are differentiated from learning objects and put in the context of web services. A model for learning services is introduced and current limitations of learning object metadata standards are addressed. The second part of the paper sketches a mediation infrastructure for learning services, called Smart Space for Learning. The architecture of Smart Spaces for Learning is based on P2P and semantic web technologies.
