In this study, discusses enhancing the e-learning system by employing a distributed database that apply reusable learning object as one of the technologies that is applied to e-learning development. An e-learning system named e-notes is able to assist students and facilitators to interact with each other. Learning objects are used to conceptualize the learning process and offer accessibility, interoperability, adaptability, durability, reusability and granularity for the e-learning environment. This study also shows the test result of a comparison for learning objects' performance applied to a centralized database and a distributed database and the performance in reusability of learning objects. The e-notes architecture, based on a client-side application, is designed with the intention to help the student in a computer tutorial system which offers reusability attributes. © 2008 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
