In the context of the CIEL activity within the European network of excellence kaleidoscope, a generic software architecture has been developed to integrate various heterogeneous applications for inquiry learning, including the definition of relevant data formats and interfaces. The general aim of this architecture is to provide a common software platform for various learning applications, facilitating interoperability by means of quasi-synchronous data exchange. Dynamically created learning objects comply with the LOM standard, thus enabling the re-use of these product in follow-up learning activities.
