General architecture supporting component-based EIS interoperability

Abstract. Web-based Educational Information Systems (EIS) aim at providing the learner with immediate, on-line access to a broad range of structured information in order to support more efficient educational task performance. Currently, more and more efforts are concentrating on bringing all those systems to work together in order to pro-vide better support within the context of web-based education. Our goal is to approach the problem from a rather practical and somewhat minimalist perspective: to better utilize resources and components of already existing EIS we show how through communication protocols, we can realize a general modular architecture comprising compo-nents that can be shared and interchanged.
