E-learning has changed the way of traditional education through anytime and anywhere learning experience. With the widespread adoption of Web services technology, the legacy e-learning systems are being exposed as reusable services on the Web. The increasing e-learning services on the Web prompts a research in selecting the most suitable elearning service for the learner's needs. Quality of Service (QoS) is a decisive factor to discriminate e-learning services offering similar services/resources. In this paper, the authors broadly classify e-learning systems/applications into three groups based on the nature of learning experience and processes involved. Based on the e-learning system's taxonomy, the paper defines a QoS model with six categories of QoS parameters to discriminate e-learning services. The paper proposes an architecture and ranking mechanism to select the most suitable e-learning service for the learner based on his QoS requirements and preferences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
