CLOUD COMPUTING - AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR E-LEARNING PLATFORMS
CLOUD COMPUTING - AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR E-LEARNING PLATFORMS

Summary/Abstract: In its short, but prosperous life cycle, the cloud has always been a source of inspiration and an engine of growth, in aspects of knowledge and nurturing information. Today's society is substantially focused on expanding the boundaries of knowledge and delivering correct, adapted ways of transferring the corpus of knowledge to the beneficiaries, be they students, trainers or business involved participants. It is considered that information is correct when it covers specific needs, when it is delivered on time and in a relevant context. The ways in which these characteristics are covered translate the channels through which information arrives at the destination, customised after each learner. Cloud computing and e-Learning will follow the development trend of computational science in general, and information systems and technologies in specific. If we add limited costs, scalable operations and unlimited resources to this equation, we are closely entering the realm of the cloud. In other words, the cloud brings good news for the modern learner, almost limitless possibilities to the elearning systems and great expectations in terms of the dynamics of knowledge. This paper introduces the characteristics of the e-Learning, analyse the concept of Cloud Computing and describes the architecture of cloud computing platform by combining the features of e-Learning. The author tried to introduce cloud computing to e-Learning and to develop an active research and exploration for e-Llearning platforms in Cloud starting from the following aspects: architecture, construction method and external interface with the model. Let's face it, clouds pave the way for a sunny future.
