EXPEL Protocol Based Architecture for Cooperative E-Learning

Using E-learning platforms in learning process become a common phenomenon because of the large use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in all fields. A huge number of 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 follow online courses. In this paper, we propose a new architecture to solve this problem by unifying access and managing cooperation between platforms used in the same institution.
