  E-learning is nowadays one of the most interesting of the "e- " domains
available through the Internet. The main problem to create a Web-based, virtual
environment is to model the traditional domain and to implement the model using
the most suitable technologies. We analyzed the distance learning domain and
investigated the possibility to implement some e-learning services using mobile
agent technologies. This paper presents a model of the Student Assessment
Service (SAS) and an agent-based framework developed to be used for
implementing specific applications. A specific Student Assessment application
that relies on the framework was developed.
