Abstract

Current e-learning websites are built with different programming languages, data storage formats and system architectures, making it hard for data to be interoperable. Therefore, e-learning systems must have a standardized platform to allow teaching resources and system functions to be shared and reused. This issue can be effectively resolved using SOA (service-oriented architecture) concept and web service technology that has open standards and XML (extensible markup language), which allow e-learning systems developed using different programming languages to share resources, and significantly reduces the cost system developers need to spend in constructing and maintaining the system. This study uses web service components developed with Microsoft .NET and XML to construct a teaching platform with standard specifications under SOA, allowing system developers to rapidly construct an e-learning system based on web services.
