“…For example, an application is needed to provide a single sign-on for all the LMSs, and to display all the courses for one user on a common page. -Architecture Type 3, T3 [16,28,30,32]. In this architecture only one LMS is used but the interaction between the virtual campus and the LMS is implemented using a set of web services.…”

“…However, our experience in the field of virtual campus architectures and current developments [16,28,32] shows us that more advanced software architectures have to be developed in order to support and smoothly integrate different e-learning platforms. For example, in the present architecture of the UCM VC, the heterogeneity of languages in which e-learning platforms are programmed forces the use of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) [8] in some parts of the software architecture [29].…”

“…In addition, when the number of users is very large, user demands increase proportionally [23]. Thus, users call for more tools, more e-learning platforms, less dependence on these platforms, and shorter development times for their demands to be implemented [28].…”

“…For example, in the present architecture of the UCM VC, the heterogeneity of languages in which e-learning platforms are programmed forces the use of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) [8] in some parts of the software architecture [29]. Therefore, the natural development is to provide a SOAbased solution for the integration of e-learning platforms in modern virtual campuses [16,28,30].…”

SUMMARY The design, development and maintenance of large virtual campuses are complex issues. This paper describes the architecture of a large university multiplatform virtual campus. Because we have not found virtual campus architectures described in the literature, the goal of this paper is to make our experience available to a wider audience so that organizations interested in the deployment of a large virtual campus can take advantage of our work. Thus, this paper analyzes this architecture from three different points of view: (i) software architecture; (ii) detailed software design; and (iii) hardware architecture.

Purpose -The design, construction and deployment of a large virtual campus are a complex issue. Present virtual campuses are made of several software applications that complement e-learning platforms. In order to develop and maintain such virtual campuses, a complex software engineering infrastructure is needed. This paper aims to analyse the software engineering infrastructure in the virtual campus deployed at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Design/methodology/approach -The software engineering infrastructure is analysed from three perspectives: process model; programming language and computer-aided software engineering tools and design patterns and architecture. Findings -Software engineering infrastructure is a key issue in virtual campuses. Originality/value -The value of the paper is to make our experience available to a wider audience so that organisations interested in the deployment of a large virtual campus can take advantage of our work.
