4. Advantages of Cloud based E-Learning
There are several advantages of E-learning implementation of Cloud computing technology, which include:
1) Low cost: E-learning computer users need not configure up for E-learning applications. They can cloud applications via your PC, mobile phone, tablet PC with an internet connection to run with minimal configuration. Since the data generated in the cloud, the user needs more money for large memory for storing data on a local machine not spend. The organization must also pay per use, so it is cheaper to pay only for the space they need.
2) Improve performance: Since the cloud based E-learning applications have most of the applications and processes in the cloud, client machines do not create problems on performance when they are working.
3) Instant Update software: Since cloud-based applications for E-learning runs with super strength, super-source software is automatically updated. So, always E- learners receive updates.
4) Improved compatibility with document formats: Since some file formats and fonts do not open properly in some PCs/mobile phones, the cloud powered E-learning applications do not have to worry about those kinds of problems. As the cloud based E-learning applications open the file from the cloud.
5) Benefits for Students: Students more benefits from the cloud-based E-Learning. They can take online courses, take the exam online, received feedback about the coaches, and post projects and assignments online through their teachers.
6) Benefits for teachers: Teachers also get numerous benefits of cloud-based E-Learning. Teachers can prepare for online tests for students, interaction and better resources for students through content management, assessment tests, homework and projects undertaken by students, feedback and communication with the students through the forum online.
7) Information Security: A very big concern is related to the data security because both the software and the data are located on remote servers that can crash or disappear without any additional warnings. Even if it seems not very reasonable, the Cloud computing provides some major security benefits for individuals and companies that are using/developing E-learning solutions.
