Abstract

Digital Education Service (DES) or Digital Education Service Chain (DESC) is also a brand-new field of the modern service industry. This paper aims to prepare theoretical foundation and technological basis for DES and DESC. In this paper, the concept of DESC is discussed. From the perspective of service chain, a variety of DESCpsilas models are given and analyzed in figure and formal mode. According to SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), the service architecture of DESC is figured out. At the same time, the IT architecture for DESC is designed based on SOA. Finally, the further research directions are put forward.
