• Nowadays, virtual learning environments are developed as digital ecosystems based on existing resources, applications, and web services. Even if they are not hosted in a centralized course management system, they are usually highly coupled. In this paper, we show how semantic technologies can help decoupling them. We build an e-learning web ecosystem enriched with an educational information according to an educational information model and a domain-specific model, so we provide teachers and students with a common user interface. We implemented our proposal in the ASCETA project, integrating well-known open-source systems, such as wikis, blogs, microblogging services, content management systems, and task management systems.
