Integrating Moodle with University Information Systems

Report published in the Proceedings of the National Conference on "Education in the Information Society", Plovdiv, May, 2013

High educational institutions use different information systems to automate management, operations and processes, decision making and educational services provided. Student information systems, е-Learning systems, Library systems, etc. are such examples. Same data usually is entered manually into multiple systems, which could lead to errors. In addition, part of information in a certain system has to be sent to other institutions.This imposes the need of examining the methods used for integration of heterogenic software systems that is the subject of the present work. An appropriate solution and corresponding experiments for integration of Moodle with information systems of the universities, based on service-oriented architecture, are proposed.
