The Design of Embedded LCMS Broker with Load- Balancing Function

This paper proposes a design for embedded learning content management system broker (embedded LCMS broker) with load balancing capabilities. Through this load balancing capable embedded LCMS broker, one is able to balance the loading of multiple LCMS by dynamic recording method. The proposed system platform includes the learning management system that records online education, LCMS that provides the teaching material, as well as embedded LCMS broker that spreads out the network loading by dynamic recording the status of LCMS. The proposed distributed SCORM learning system infrastructure with embedded LCMS broker will not only provide the learner with SCORM related learning materials online, but the embedded LCMS broker will also provide service capabilities similar to that of a high-end server system. It does effectively balance the load between LCMS, thereby significantly lowering system related costs.
