Collaborative e-learning has a set of characteristics which requires interaction and negotiation among learners and teachers. It also needs support to achieve high-level requirements for learning content and systems such as accessibility, reusability, interoperability and adaptability. The focus of this paper is to investigate three commonly used standards in e-learning which are: SCORM, IMS-LD, IEEE and LOM to enhance the characteristics of collaborative e-learning in relation to the features

Due the lack of collaboration features in these standards, this paper highlights Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) features to fulfill the collaborative e-learning requirements. Journal of Software match the features of these standards in relation to the characteristics of collaborative e-learning. The paper will present an overview of SOA usage for collaborative e-learning as a recommendation in Section 4. Related work in the field of using SOA for e-learning is giving in Section 5. After that, Section 6 will present a methodology for SOA implementation for collaborative e-learning. The paper will be concluded in Section 7.
