Abstract
In the past two decades the area of e-learning was
dominated by monolithic application silos. These e-learning
platforms are usually vendor specific and do not provide the
flexibility a learner needs, interoperability and pedagogical
flexibility.
The concept of ëwhat an application isî is rapidly changing
in the recent years. With the advances of Internet
technologies, as well as social interactions online, there has
been a shift from monolithic application silos toward service
oriented approaches where flexible granular functional
components expose services accessible to applications via
loosely coupled standards-based interfaces.
This paper gives an overview of the existing trends in the
design of modern e-learning systems emphasizing issues and
challenges that will bring us to the sufficiently sophisticated
eLearning system that will be able to adapt its behaviour
depending on the learners knowledge, intelligently leading
him to a particular goal by monitoring is progress.
