A SOA-Based e-Learning System for Teaching Fundamental Information Management Courses
Chung C. Chang, KouChan Hsiao - · Journal of Convergence Information Technology · 2011
SOA (service-oriented architecture) changed the conventional system development method, and allowed system integration to become more flexible. Cost reduction is a major issue in the construction of e-learning systems. Software components of SOA and web services are characterized by being reusable and interchangeable, and are therefore able to reduce waste of educational resources, as well as lower system development cost. This study uses web service components developed with Microsoft .NET and XML technologies to construct a teaching platform with standard specifications, allowing system developers to rapidly construct an e-learning system based on SOA and web services.
