Enabling the Next Generation Learning Environment

As more and more services that universities traditionally offer are provided through or underpinned by systems made of computers and networks, the role of these systems become more important. Previously independent functions can now be combined, or easily exchange data and information, hence offering new opportunities. In order to leverage and exploit these new possibilities, these services must be built to access each other's data and functionalities in an open, secure and simple manner. This paper describes a smart learning platform that provides the backbone to the University of the Future for the next generation campus environment.
