Kholod D. Design and development of Service oriented E-learning system.

The thesis is devoted to research and development of programming model of system for automation the educational process. The developed model provides the fundamental support for E-learning components at the application programming interface level and framework level. The new programming model of the E-learning automation system is proposed. The key characteristics of model are the base functionality of E-learning framework, the technological and platform independence of functioning, the use of open interfaces and algorithms of interaction for the integration with the existing E-learning systems. The software realization of developed model includes the functional framework and applications programming interface (API). "University Learning Directory" (ULD) is the informational system than was developed as a realization of described programming model. It is based on the service-oriented architecture. The Microsoft Class Server system was integrated within the ULD by means of developed interaction algorithms with the heterogeneous components. This interaction adds new functional possibilities to automate the processes of testing and checking student's learning knowledge.
