An Integrated Learning Resource Management System with Web Services

In recent years, there are some new directions in learning resource management and sharing research field, which mainly focus on innovative methods to promote sharing and reusing learning resource in modular manner, to create system with capabilities suitable for personalized learning and mobile learning. The feature of adaptive capability becomes more and more important in these systems. These requirements demand new generation e-learning system. The paper introduces an approach to design new generation learning resource management and sharing system according to these requirements, which should be realized with bottom up design, and the system adopted this approach should be implemented with technologies of reusable learning object and Web services, and furthermore, these technologies should be integrated inherently according to a integrated framework, and provide programmable learning resource management facilities. The design approach has been initially validated in the realization of a prototype system aimed to provide capabilities aforementioned.
