• Abstract:

  In an integrated model of online education (e-learning) all integrating

  subsystems, grouped in nouns and adjectives, must be harmonized. Among the

  nouns, the educational model, the educational contents, the academic capital and

  the technological platform in which the creation, storage, distribution, monitoring and

  evaluation of the educational contents take place, stand out.

  Creating a repository of electronic files with articles, notes or books, or a collection of

  presentations, and even a learning management system (LMS), are not in isolation an

  effective platform for online education. Currently available technologies allow creating

  a virtual learning environment (VLE) that enhances the attractiveness, understanding

  and retention of learning objects, aligned with the educational model and deployment

  strategies established by the educational institution.

  The creation of a technological platform for online education requires an adequate system

  architecture, software products that are integrated technologically and pedagogically,

  and that are supported for operation, continuity of operation, maintenance and updating,

  such as it is done with corporate information systems.

  This paper proposes a systems architecture and a production environment for an

  VLE, using mainly open source software that, through an adequate construction and

  deployment, and with the fulfillment of the international standards of data quality and

  service delivery. it is a flexible and robust platform for online education.
