Also, by the influence of Internet, traditional academic education has been in revolution, such as e-Learning breaking the limitations of time and space, has become the general educational methods. Currently on campus, most of e-Leaning platforms are constructed on the basic consideration of either single computer or server. Once the workload increases, renewing or upgrading hardware has become the only solution, which is a great burden to a school with insufficient budget. Therefore, by using Grid Computing technology, this study aims to integrate those unrelated computers in schools to replace high level server as the teaching platforms of e-Learning. Thus, not only the computer sources in schools can be fully used and applied, and moreover, constantly sharing the computer sources from other schools or associations as well as the computing capacities. We also expect the outcome and experiences of this research can provide reference to the schools that wish to develop e-Learning environment for saving the cost and time in developing a similar system.
