Abstract
Today’s technology enhanced learning landscape is characterized by a high and growing number of heterogeneous educational service providers in the international arena. This fact, intrinsically positive, raises the need of appropriate searching mechanisms that allows particular users and organizations to locate the most suitable courses for their requirements. The existence of specialized e-learning brokers or intermediaries which gather and integrate the existing educational offers (Electronic Course Catalogues) can alleviate this situation. This chapter presents the basis of an innovative brokerage system in the e-learning domain.
