EXPEL Protocol Based Architecture for Cooperative E-Learning

Abstract

Using E-learning platforms in learning process have become a common phenomenon because of the large use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all fields. Many e-learning platforms were developed what makes their list richer and bigger. Most of teachers have the possibility to choose the suitable platform for their needs. Consequently, we may find more than one platform used in the same institution, and thus students have to connect independently on each system. This diversity in use of platforms makes the learning process for students more difficult which discourage them to be involved in e-learning process. In this paper, we propose a new architecture to solve this problem and to manage cooperation between platforms used in the same institution.
