Abstract
Grid computing play a major role in the future of education, as they break barriers and make educational content widely available. More specifically, the main ways that Grid computing can leverage educational activities are as follows: Creating virtual classrooms by interconnecting lecturers to geographically; scattered students; Making educational material, such as tutorials and recorded lectures, available worldwide through high-storage infrastructures; Digitalizing and making books available through high-storage infrastructures; Integrating library search engines and digital content. In this article we use grid technologies to build an e-learning framework which is able to connect a potentially unbounded number of professors and students.
