A Learning Management System (commonly abbreviated as LMS) is a specialized type of CMS focused on lecture organization and educational management. It is an application designed for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content. At the Vienna University of Technology the learning management system TUWIS++ is used for administering users and courses. The TUWEL subsystem is used complementary, mainly to manage learning content and course contents. Additionally it has certain management functionality for grading and testing students. TUWEL is a generalized web-based e-learning application, which works well for various kinds of simple and standardized e-learning objects. Specialized applications and certain e-learning content like videos and podcasts or mathematical simulation examples cannot be integrated via TUWEL, they have to be embedded via external interfaces and specialized applications. The A.RIES LCMS application is a learning content management system designed for mathematical content and simulation examples. The LCMS is an advancement of the existing MMT e-learning infrastructure, which was necessary because of the growing number of learning objects and simulation examples. The A.RIES LCMS consists of a web application, a relational database backend and different application servers in the background. The application servers compute the model data and deliver the results to the A.RIES web frontend application. This paper shows the structure and implementation of our mathematical e-learning system as well as the integration of the application into existing web and e-learning resources (like TUWIS++ and TUWEL) at the Vienna University of technology.
