摘要:This research study involved the development of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) middle-ware prototype that provided a solution for the data movement interoperability gap that exists between learning management systems (LMS) and learning object repositories (LOR). The pro-totype extracted and transferred Learning Object data from a LMS to a LOR using Web Services and FTP. The design of the prototype was based on the 28 functional requirements that were provided by a panel of Computer Information Systems (CIS) experts that participated in a five-stage, web-based, anonymous Delphi process to establish a valid set of criteria for the middleware application. During the requirements gathering process, the panel approved and ranked 28 func-tional requirements for the prototype. The prototype was then developed and consisted of five major components, a Web-based user interface that was developed using C# ASP .Net, an Oracle 11g Metadata Repository, a Web Service Coordination Program that leveraged the PHP pro-gramming language, a LMS (Moodle) and a LOR (FLORI).
