Design of CORBA based Framework for Cyber University

초록

Cyber university is a new field that can overcome the limitation of present education criteria. Student can receive learning in anywhere and anytime using information communication infrastructure. But, many researches in field of cyber university concentrate on development of solutions based application level. These solutions lack a flexibility and adaptability to be adapted in various environment of education. In our research, we propose a framework that is not application level in solution for cyber university. This framework is designed using CORBA that is standard in distributed object middleware. The CORBA based framework can be integrated with other systems easily. The framework is mainly composed by four components. Course manager maintains all learning materials using workflow concepts. Student manager maintains profile and conditions of learning for each student. Intelligent agent determines learning step and coarse using student’s condition dynamically. Session manager maintains group activity between lecture and students.
