A highly modular and extensible architecture for an integrated IMS-based authoring system: the   experience
The (e-Aula) platform is a new experimental e-learning environment that adheres closely to IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. e-learning standards in order to facilitate their applicability in different learning scenarios. (e-Aula) is equipped with an integrated modular and extensible architecture for the authoring of IMS-compliant learning materials focused on the IMS manifest. This manifest-driven architecture facilitates maintenance and promotes the evolution of the authoring system in (e-Aula), both of which are mandatory requirements in the successful production and maintenance of content for many different specialized learning domains. In this paper, we describe this authoring system, its manifest-driven architecture and its implementation using well-known and robust Java-based Web technologies.
