The present paper proposes a cross-LMS communication system for distributed, autonomous, and collaborative learning environments. The authors have been conducting the eHELP project, which promotes the sharing of e-learning contents and the transfer of credits between academic institutions in Japan. A problem in achieving collaboration between students at different institutions is revealed, whereby different LMSs are used at the participating institutions. To solve this problem, a cross-LMS bulletin board system (cBBS) and a cross-LMS chat system (cChat) using web services are proposed. The present paper describes the requirements, designs, and implementations of these systems. Working examples of the cBBS are also presented.
