Abstract: For e-Learning, learning objects and XML not only present advanced technologies, but also promise an approach to create online instruction quickly and economically. Although it is unlikely that a global library of learning objects, which follows some open standards, will be formed in near future, developing a campus-wide instructional system based on learning objects for courseware design and delivery is still possible. The main goal of this study is to develop a reusable and adaptive e-Learning system with XML schemas forming the basic framework. This system shows that it is possible to achieve flexibility, reusability, interoperability, and personalization of learning content in such a XML environment. This study describes the detailed design of the e-Learning system. The first section describes the architecture of this system. The second section deals with the design of the learning management system.
