Introduction
E-learning and the use of ICT in education have literally exploded during the last couple of
years. Much of the e-learning today is distributed using web technology. Either via the World
Wide Web, Intranet or via Extranet. Often using Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) based
on web technology or a back-end that uses web technology for presentation and interaction.
The rise and growth of e-learning introduces a number of new problems (and of cause, many
opportunities). One of the more significant problems concerns the organization and
distribution of learning resources. This is the problem that this article addresses. It is also the
purpose of the SCAM project, which is the focus of this article.
