Abstract:

e-Education architectures have gained popularity in recent years within the scientific community. The grid technology enables software and services to aggregate distributed resources to provide integrated learning process from various organizations that can be attainable on any single system. However, most applications developed and used by the scientific community are not integrated or combined from various Universities and there is a rising need to integrate such applications into a single service-based application. Nonetheless, it is observed from the literature that the potential of grid resources for educational purpose is not being fully utilized yet. In this paper, we develop a grid enabled learning system that allows students, faculty and researchers to share and gain knowledge in their area of interest by using e-learning, searching and distributed repository services among universities from grid portal anywhere, anytime using desktop, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. Globus toolkit 5.2.5 (GTK) software is used as grid middleware that provides resource access, discovery and management, data movement, security, and so forth. The project provides various graphical user interfaces to discover and interact with application services.
