E-Learning Web Services

Abstract:- More and more educational institutions are investing in e-Learning system to streamline the management of their educational business and to gain competitive edges. This gives rise to the proliferation of many such systems which are however non-customizable and provide very little avenue for reuse. One way to tackle these limitations is to identify the reusable portions of e-Learning system and build them as reusable components in the form of web services. Creating new e-Learning system will then involve assembling the needed services. This will tremendously reduce the time, effort and cost needed in building new e-Learning systems. The work presented here aims to construct the reusable e-Learning components as web services. Several web services are constructed (such as attendance taking, test/quiz, timetable generation and course management). Key-Words:- E-Learning, service-oriented architecture, web services
