Modern e-learning systems represent a special type of web information systems. Information systems serve multiple users simultaneously. A large number of simultaneous users can slow the information system. Slow interaction with such system is an undesirable problem which can be solved using an appropriate method. One such commonly used method is the continuous upgrade of the underlying hardware. This work deals with the implementation of a web e-learning system with a different software architecture. In order to implement a web e-learning system with all needed features, a Rich Internet Application framework (RIA) was used. In combination with a special network application, the system is able to provide a better performance than conventional web information systems only with minimal hardware requirements.
