摘要

Convenient and seamless access to information and education is crucial for professional and personal development. Today, learners can consume content via various advanced devices. Consequently, the foundational IT infrastructure must establish a digital ecosystem capable of delivering the necessary services to meet learners’ needs. A reliable and scalable solution is necessary to operate in environments with rapidly changing and ambiguous requirements. Simultaneously, a learning management framework needs to be established. Qualifications-Based Learning (QBL) serves as a learning management framework. To facilitate QBL, the Qualifications-Based Learning Model (QBLM) introduces an underlying conceptual reference architecture. The QBLM proposes a service-oriented architecture and data models. However, the suggested QBLM lacks horizontal scalability and flexibility in adapting to the rapidly changing and ambiguous demands of different digital ecosystems. Furthermore, the prototypical implementations of software implementing QBLM functionalities are tightly coupled. A software platform called the ‘QBLM Platform’ is proposed to address these challenges, which utilises a modular software architecture concept. The QBLM Platform provides a foundation for QBLM and capabilities to integrate on-demand extensions, such as games or customised solutions. It includes a standardised communication pattern to facilitate internal communication and interactions with remote digital ecosystems.
