Announcing the WAFFLE Bus Project The eLearning Development Group at the University of Leeds announces the WAFFLE Bus Project, an independent follow-on from the JISC ELF Toolkit Project, SOCKET. The goal of the WAFFLE Bus Project is to produce a demonstrator, proof-of-concept implementation of a WAFFLE Bus, which is a service-oriented learning architecture resulting from the fusion of the Wide-Area Freely Federated Learning Environment (WAFFLE) and the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The WAFFLE Bus will provide a delivery platform for JISC's e-framework and will be characterized by its flexibility, configurability and usability. The WAFFLE Bus will be able to act as a complete, enterprise, service-oriented virtual learning environment for Higher Education that facilitates collaborative, syndicated and federated approaches to teaching and learning. Alternatively, the WAFFLE Bus will offer a managed Web services gateway for existing virtual learning environments originally conceived as monolithic, non-service-oriented products. http://www.socketelf.org:8080/roller/page/wafflebus |
