Architecture Solutions for E-Learning Systems

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.

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
