Abstract: The present invention is directed to a scalable method and system for providing large groups of users with access to a large group of disparate information resources. The system is highly scalable and provide for a layered architecture that enables rapid application development, high availability and strong system security. The method and system can also provide the ability to customize the information provided by allowing the user to locate, assemble, format and combine information elements from diverse information resources in real time.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a scalable method and system for efficiently correlating large volumes of information resources. In an e-learning system many large and disparate of educational information resources can be combined and accessed quickly and efficiently. The system made very scalable by the use of central database of learning objectives referred to as a set of Master Learning Objectives or MLOs. Each information object and element of each information resource can be correlated to one or more MLOs in order to establish a link or relationship between the information object or element and the MLO. Once an information object or element is linked to an MLO, additional information objects and elements corresponding to the same subject as the first information object or element can be located by searching for all other information objects and elements linked to the same MLO.
