An agent based multilayered architecture for E-learning system

Abstract

E-learning refers to the way by which the learning content is provided by means of electronic technology. In a traditional E-learning system, there is only one layer and all agents and services are connected together. The architecture of the proposed E-learning system, in this paper, contains four tier layers. It is based on multi agent systems' paradigm. In this research we propose a novel method for updating content through Question-Answer between E-learners. We use sharable content object reference model (SCORM) for reuse and sharing the contents of the E-learning system. To achieve this, we have designed a system that applies various technologies, which guarantee various vital features for E-learning systems. These features include intelligence, distributed nature, adaptive attitude, interaction, accessibility and security. We have used multilayer modeling approach to provide flexible and light weight systems for E-learning environments.
