Abstract

The take-up of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) by the educators has been slow, in part due to the complexity of authoring and the often short 'lifetime' of the AEH software. AEH system interoperability can address these problems. This paper reports on a web services architecture for AEH interoperability that builds upon prior translation-based conversion processes between AEH systems. We describe a case study in the development of a web service using Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and SOAP that is capable of converting My Online Teacher (MOT) materials to Web-based, Hierarchical, Universal, Reactive Learning Environment (WHURLE). This web service is flexible and easily extensible, and represents the first step in developing an interoperable middleware for AEH conversions.
