Abstract

In the domain of e-learning and e-assessment, many different components are used to realise particular system features. Even for similar features using similar components there are different ways of realisation in terms of connection and integration. This paper presents results from literature review and design-space explorations that result in a catalogue of components and an overview on design alternatives.
