Description & Coverage
Description:

E-learning is now a prominent form of education that allows for the creation of tailored solutions for different learning styles and requirements. An essential element of e-learning, learning technology systems manage the learning environment, learning objects, and resource infrastructures.

Architecture Solutions for E-Learning Systems provides fundamental research on the architecture of learning technology systems, discussing such issues as the common structures in LTS architectures and solutions for specific forms such as knowledge-based, distributed, or adaptive applications of e-learning. Researchers, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of learning content software development, computing and educational technologies, and e-learning will find this book an invaluable resource.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Adaptive content services and e-learning platforms
  • Collaborative e-learning system and pedagogy
  • Digital Libraries
  • E-learning environment design
  • Impact of context-awareness on e-learning
  • Information foraging models
  • Model-driven engineering and model-driven architecture applications
  • Pattern language for e-learning systems
  • Pedagogical scenario modeling
  • Personalized e-learning
  • Podcasting in e-learning systems
  • Reengineering e-learning systems
  • Semantic Web standards
  • Service-based grid architectures
  • Virtualization of learning technology systems
  • Vocational training support
Reviews & Statements

This book aims to bring together advanced and novel aspects of architectural issues in a comprehensive account, targeting a wide audience of e-learning technology users, developers, and providers.
