English Abstract

-Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) defines how to integrate widely disparate applications for a world that is Web based using multiple implementation platforms.

In using SOA, one can build durable e-learning contents, regardless of changes or evolutions in technology.

This means that new content should be added to the existing content without costly redesign, reconfiguration, or recoding.

In this thesis, an e-Learning management system with web services oriented framework was designed and implemented.

The system is an open source application with client scripting facility.

It also supports the cross browser and it is fully integrated with different databases; Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, and LDAP.

The key values of Interoperability, durability, compatibility, manageability, dynamic reusability and accessibility in the system architecture enhance the future e-Learning systems to communicate more efficiently and share data more easily.

Web services architecture provides a standard based platform for Service-Oriented Computing.

It defines itself as a set of specifications that support an open XML-based platform for description, discovery, and interoperability of distributed, heterogeneous applications as services.

The serviced oriented e-learning management system that was designed contains interactive learning sub-systems; online exams, discussion forums, assignments, identity cards, courses, academic calendars, and news center.

The system is an advanced, 3-tier, database-driven using Microsoft ASP.NET 3.5 with Visual Basic.NET.

The model used in building the system is the “Evolutionary Model”, because it is easy to use, it allows small systems to be developed rapidly, and it allows user engagement with the application.

Unified Modeling Language has been used to show the functionality of the system and interactions between users.
