[One of the potential great benefits of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
is the new flexibility that it presents for eLearning.  An excellent
overview of the potential of SOA for eLearning is being undertaken at the UK
JISC
http://standards.edna.edu.au/idea/summer2005/ppt/OTF20050209_scottwilson.ppt
 

Another good example of this approach is the Dynamic Adaptive Leaning
Environments (DALE) as noted on the LEAD project
http://kelvin.ou.edu/cise.pdf where web services and workflow with portals
allows new tools which " places the student in an inquiry-based environment
where he or she can explore new ideas by creating entirely new pathways and
tools."  The LEAD project also plans "to democratize the availability of
advanced weather technologies for research and education, lowering the
barrier to entry, empowering application in a distributed context...."

Google mashups are another good example of the power of SOA technology for
education in linking various services together with web services and work
flow http://lists.canarie.ca/pipermail/news/2005/000115.html -- BSA]
