2008 Handbook on Information Technologies for Education and Training  
In this chapter, we revisit an innovative model of a Virtual Campus developed and implemented in the second half of the nineties and we compare it with the main evolution in the field of eLearning that has occurred in the last decade. We present the vision and the orientation principles for a new Virtual Campus model and a conceptual framework for a Virtual Campus support system called TELOS. This TELelearning Operation System is service-oriented and ontology-driven and it aims to support a

We summarize the technical architecture of that system that provides an implementation of the new Virtual Campus model, present some use cases and discuss its intended benefits for eLearning systems.
