Abstract
In this paper, an active and autonomous e-learning system–Active e-Learning Space (ALS) is presented. ALS is a P2P-based learning environment that supporting dynamic construction of hierarchical and self-managed learning community. In ALS, student can construct or join a learning community according to the learning requirement, learning collaboratively with others. ALS is composed of three parts: (1) ALS server accomplishes e-learning information management and services; (2) Participating sites constitute a pastry-based p2p overlay network supporting message multi-casting and uni-casting, and resources sharing; (3) ALS e-Learning application, which is running on the top of the p2p network, realizes an active learning community.
This paper is supported by research funding from Natural Science Foundation of China (60573176), and Science Foundation of Hangzhou Dianzi University (KYS041505044).
