== Introduction ==
{{quotationbox|
GLUE! is a middleware architecture that allows a lightweight integration of existing external tools in existing Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) like Moodle or LAMS.

GLUE! is composed of three kinds of loosely-coupled distributed services: the GLUE! core, and two sets of adapters (VLE and tool adapters). While the GLUE! core supports most of the integration functionality, VLE and tool adapters wrap existing VLEs and tools, connecting them to the GLUE! core.

GLUE! allows educators to control the creation and configuration of external tool instances within VLEs and their automatic assignment to VLE users depending on their roles and the groups they belong to; that reduces the time and complexity required to instantiate non-trivial collaborative learning situations within VLEs. Afterwards, students logged in the VLE find their corresponding tool instances; That facilitates the enactment of collaborative learning situtations.}}

Glue was developed mostly by Carlos Aliro Hoyos in a [http://www.gsic.uva.es/uploaded_files/53800_PhDThesisCarlosAlarioHoyos.pdf PHD thesis]

== Architecture ==

{{quotation|The leftmost and rightmost GLUE! tiers make use of the well-known adapter pattern
[Gam95] to respectively wrap VLEs and tools, also adapting their specific and heterogeneous
contracts to two generic and homogeneous intermediate contracts: the GLUE! integration contract
for tools, and the GLUE! integration contract for VLEs; these contracts are detailed in
sections 3.4.2 and 3.4.3. These type of software adapters, which were also employed in some
recent two-tier research integration works (e.g. IMS LTI or Basic LTI) to enable the integration
of VLEs and tools without modifying their implementations, are called VLE adapters and
tool adapters in the GLUE! architecture.}} (Alario Hoyos 2012:75)
