Abstract

Using Grid technologies for enhance e-learning systems represents an attractive, but a laborious solution if we consider not only the benefits, but also the difficulties that must to be overcome. This paper presents our research for development of a Learning Management System (LMS) that integrates Grid capabilities in an efficient and flexible e-learning solution. Certain independence was desired and obtained for the Grid infrastructure and LMS, so that these sub-systems of the e-learning system could evolve according to next developments of tools (Grid toolkits, portal tools, learning tools) and learning standards. The Grid-based LMS manages learning content as aggregates of learning objects that integrates Grid Services, which are developed and deployed in the Grid infrastructure of the e-learning system.
