The challenge of creating an efficient, integrated Educational Technology architecture in the business of teaching and learning in the 21st century

The paper explores an approach to defining and implementing a best-practice Educational Technology systems architecture in support of the business of teaching and leaning for an Educational institution. It examines the challenges institutions face in welding disparate and often highly commoditised software applications into a unified whole capable of effectively serving the requirements of stakeholders across the business of education from student acquisition, to student records management, to teaching/learning facilitation, to compliance/quality and content management.

In an architectural exemplar, the paper looks closely at how a good learning object repository can be used as a content management hub to 'switch-board' content from different sources directly into the core business of the delivering high quality teaching-learning in a increasingly online world.
