Cloud Computing based Integrated Virtual Learning Framework for Academic Institutions

Abstract — Cloud computing is one of the most emerging technologies for the modern business organizations. Dynamic scalability and resource virtualization capabilities of cloud computing also attracted the academic fertility to adopt it for renovation of the existing academic systems. Indian B-Schools have always shown their curiosity to adopt new technology in their curriculum as well for the modernization and improvement of their academic process. We have proposed a new cloud computing based architecture for E-Learning systems (J-CCELS) in B-Schools. This framework is based on public cloud architecture and exploits the open source platform for its prototype development and deployment.Prototype reveals goods results in digital content management, knowledge sharing, knowledge base integration and virtualization of resources. It may be a suitable solution for all the B-Schools for integrating their resources and knowledge sharing
