“…In addition, teachers and students may be discouraged to explore the use of advanced labs to enhance learning effectiveness, because they often have to repeat the same scenarios inefficiently in different labs due to lack of an integrated lab package. The unified model in chemistry-inspired languages will enable formal specification of an evolving system and provide a framework for top-down design of the entire system (Banâtre, Fradet & Radenac, 2004;Lin & Yang, 2006a, 2006b. This design strategy will lead to an architecture that enables incorporating lab modules into the lab package in an incremental fashion.…”

We present a method for designing the architecture of an agent-based e-educational system. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by its application in the design of a computational grid built to be an environment for lab activities. An integrated lab package was developed to allow students to utilize the grid services and support the learning process. Our architectural design strategy ensures an outstanding feature of the system: It allows lab modules to be added into the system in an incremental fashion while ensuring the correctness of the system. Students are recruited in our research program to develop lab modules and build the grid. Initial use of the lab package indicates that it allows lab activities to be performed more efficiently and it enhances the learning effectiveness.
