Abstract: In this paper, a university project, known as DeLC (Distributed eLearning Center), is presented briefly. Following the philosophy of DeLC for building more complex structures, an educational cluster is developed consisting of two nodes. The first node is an educational portal which provides various educational services and teaching content. The second node hosts intelligent components, known as "assistants'', they support the portal services in order to increase the efficacy of the whole cluster. The application of educational portal for eTesting and eLearning in software engineering is discussed as well. (Abstract)
