Abstract

The Nexted Distributed Learning System is an enabling technology platform to support the delivery of the business of education to distributed learning centers, while maintaining central control. Centralised learning systems fail to provide adequate quality of service to remote users subject to the variable performance of the internet. The Nexted Global Knowledge Extranet (GKE) provides a second stage solution to this problem with a global replicated and redundant system providing accessibility at major regional internet junctures. The Nexted Distributed Learning System (DLS), an evolution from knowledge gained from the GKE, is a third stage solution providing system delivery on the Learning Center local network. Additionally the system provides a rich range of components, including learning management, customer service, business administration, enrolments, pre-sales, learning planners, and executive reporting and management across centers.
