Implementation of a JXTA‐based P2P e‐learning system and its performance evaluation

This work is motivated by the need to develop decentralized peer‐to‐peer (P2P) approaches to support e‐learning and teaching activity in virtual universities. This paper aims to present the implementation of the JXTA‐based e‐learning P2P system.

The design and implementation of a smart box environment that will be used for stimulating the learners to increase the learning efficiency is shown. The smart box is integrated with the JXTA‐overlay by using efficient message sending between peers in the system.

The proposed e‐learning P2P system is a useful tool for monitoring and controlling learners' activity.

In the future, other effective stimulation for each learner using IC tag card will be added. Also, the Servo Motor has 12 control ports, so these will be used for implementing other stimulating functions. It is planned to extend the system with functionalities for presence mechanism of students in classrooms and activities.

The proposed system is evaluated by experimental results and it has a good performance.

This paper proposes and implements a novel e‐learning system, which is based on P2P, web and sensor technologies.
