In previous work [27], the authors proposed an E-University but they did not take into account some essential parts. In this paper, the system presented in [27] is modified and developed. New critical important items such as security in E-Learning, learning management, business continuity management and science park are added to the proposed university. According to the great development of IT, the current Web-based learning systems need to be as effective as human tutors. Recently, intelligent agents became one of the most interesting subjects of modern information technology. Agent-based technology has been taken as an important approach for developing advanced E-Learning systems. This paper presents architecture for implementing a multi-agent system within the context of a learning environment. The roles of intelligent agents within an E-Learning system, called E-University, are presented. The agents perform specific tasks on the behalf of students, professors, administrators, and other members of the university. Also a group of intelligent agents for learning activities such as user interface agents, task agents, knowledge agents and mobile agents is developed. Using the multi-agent technology in E-Learning system, gives user interaction facility to both users and designers, and adds ability to exchange information between different objects in a flexible way.
