            Abstract : 
There is no doubt that e-learning has found its way in our lives. From the very start to the Ph.D. level one can find e-learning courses every where and all the big names are supporting it. One thing that is needed to be understood is that e-learning is basically the integration of various technologies. Now this technology is maturing and we can find different standards for e-learning .New technologies such as agents and web services are promising better results. In this paper we have proposed an e-learning architecture that is dependent on multi-agent systems and web services. These communication technologies will make the architecture more robust, scalable and efficient.
