CREASE
The success of communication and information technologies in higher education has promoted the use of virtual campus in educational institutions. Virtual campuses are complex web applications used by these institutions in order to make easier the relationships between users (students, teachers and support staff). Thus, the management and maintenance of these virtual campus make necessary to take into account several issues: support to different e-learning platforms, integration with the rest of university services, design of a hardware architecture able to support a large amount of concurrent users, use of efficient mechanisms for the storage and retrieval of information, design of an adecuate format for learning objects interoperability, support for the management of educational knowledge, support for a learning strategy, definition and evaluation of quality in virtual campuses, etc. These and other characteristics, make necessary a joint effort in the scientific community in order to answer the challenges that are derived from design, construction, deployment, use and maintenance of virtual campuses.
