Methodology for Supporting Novel Model of E-Learning Platform in Grid Architecture

摘要

It combines grid technology with E-Learning, present an E-Learning architecture based on grid technology to support learning novel mode. By using Grid Computing technology, this method aims to integrate those unrelated computers in schools to replace high level server as the teaching platforms of E-Learning. Thus, not only the computer sources in schools can be fully used and applied, and moreover, constantly sharing the computer sources from other schools or associations as well as the computing capacities. In this paper, a prototype of E-Learning platform using grid environment is proposed, built up using a number of open source E-Learning software in a heterogeneous environment. In the future, using grid technology on E-Learning might be a new scheme. We also expect the outcome and experiences of this research can provide reference to the schools that wish to develop E-Learning environment for saving the cost and time in developing a similar system.
