SOA for Dynamically Integrated Virtual Learning Environment Systems with Cloud Based Services

SOA is structural approach for creating services to be reused and shared, so it provides agility and cost saving in software development by dividing the application into multiple software components to be reused in other systems. Cloud computing is truly scalable and provide virtualized resources which users can subscribe. Using a cloud and SOA in virtual learning systems provide a great chance for learners to enhance gained learning outcomes. The adoption of cloud services also assists in reducing the cost of software, hardware, human resources and infrastructure. This paper will use SOA and cloud computing to transfer virtual learning systems in the cloud to be more integrated and interoperable through showing a conceptual model of distributed virtual learning system and using cloud computing combined with services oriented architecture, to contribute in interoperability and integration of e-learning systems in general
