Abstract: E-learning has become one of the major components in education processes, and it is one of the most important elements in which universities can attain a competitive advantage. Virtual learning environment (VLE), which is considered as a subpart of the LMS, allows educators and educational systems to go beyond place and ti.me in communication with every student. For this reason universities focus on having LMS, for it helps users access educational sources that is not only reliable, but also has the possibility to be integrated with other systems available at the university. The paper highlights and explores the different theories and methodologies related to implementing and switching virtual learning environment successfully. Many previous studies, framework, theories and models have been reviewed; those models and frameworks identify how successful the implementation of virtual learning environments is in higher educational institutes.

Abstract: The implementation of e-Government in public administration allows the development of more service channels with its suppliers and relationships with its citizens, promoting a safe service and securing the confidentiality of information. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a new way of developing systems that promotes a shift from writing software to assembling and integrating services. By adopting an SOA approach and implementing it using supporting technologies, companies can build flexible systems that implement changing business processes quickly, and make extensive use of reusable components. In this paper we describe the approach we followed in adopting an SOA in an autarchy with regard to the implementation of a process of public procurement integrated with the existing systems. We present the steps followed, the difficulties and the advantages of this integration, pointing out the facilitator role of Web services in the design and implementation of the Service.
