However, it is totally possible to extend the learning management system (LMS) as a complete service platform for students and instructors including more advanced services. This paper shows the progressive integration of services and applications in TEC Digital as the open source e-learning platform of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology. This integration experience could be used as a case of study for other universities. }, isbn = {978-3-642-55127-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_19}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55128-4_19}, author = {Chacon-Rivas, Mario and Garita, Cesar}, editor = {Corral, Luis and Sillitti, Alberto and Succi, Giancarlo and Vlasenko, Jelena and Wasserman, AnthonyI.} }
