Abstract

The specifications of automated learning scenarios could bring about advantages for virtual learning environments and important benefits for organisations, although research in this e-learning area has not addressed this issue yet. In order to achieve this goal, one of the requirements is to have an infrastructure able to support the execution of specifications of learning scenarios. This paper presents an open service-oriented architecture based on the Open Services Interface Definition (OSID) specifications proposed by the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) and other normative specifications. Such architecture is used as technological infrastructure in a virtual learning environment with more than 40,000 students enrolled and has been tested as the infrastructure of a tool to automate specifications of learning scenarios. A given case study has been used to test the suitability of such architecture and to sketch out such future tool.
