Over the past few years, blended learning has become an increasingly popular, convenient and affordable way of learning. This is thanks to the flexibility of blended learning approaches in terms of time and place, where individuals can adjust their schedules to learn. However, rapid changes in the education sector can affect the design, development and deployment of educational resources. Therefore, this study proposes a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach that loosely couples different system components to reduce development time and costs. Furthermore, we propose a prototype learning application with an API ecosystem that considers the attractiveness and validates the functional and non-functional requirements of the system.
