Abstract
E-Learning solutions face challenges that are leading a group of researchers to doubt the efficiency of such an experience. Challenges include lack of adaptation in the e-Learning process. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) - as a design pattern presenting systems as collection of reusable services that can be exposed and consumed on the Internet with standard interfaces - has many advantages that can be achieved on technical, managerial and implementation aspects. It can be useful in integrating adaptive and intelligent features in e-Learning systems. However, utilizing SOA in e-Learning faces challenges. Those challenges can be categorized into two categories: pedagogical and technical. Pedagogical challenges are related to the activities and the learning path of the e-Learning process itself. Technical challenges are related to the way system architects design and build e-Learning systems. Optimization is a continuous process that happens iteratively and recursively to achieve better: Addressing and understanding the problems in hand Presenting different proposed solutions Optimizing the selected solution Applying the optimized and enhanced solution Evaluating the applied solution Dissertation addresses pedagogical and technical challenges facing the e-Learning process and presents an Adaptive e-Learning Model as a solution to the highlighted problems. Pedagogical solutions include new adaptive features presented to: students based on their learning preferences, and to instructors to empower them through e-Learning. Technical solutions include optimizing newly presented features. Presented model uses SOA in integrating major e-Learning components together, side by side with adaptive and intelligent features.
