A Study on E-Learning and Cloud Computing

Authors(1) :-Dr. P. Neelakantan

PC based research facilities are an essential part of the e-learning condition. With the presentation of Cloud Computing innovations an ever increasing number of labs move into the cloud, known as virtual labs. While there are numerous advantages for utilizing virtual labs, there is likewise an expansion unpredictability in regards to the use of them. There are numerous cloud administration frameworks (Cloud MS) which include an additional layer of multifaceted nature to the e-taking in encounter both from the point of view of the educator and of the understudy. The reason for the investigation is to recognize approaches to enhance the learning procedure using distributed computing advances, while lessening the unpredictability related with these advances the principle center is about the asking for, creation, arrangement, observing and administration of virtual labs utilizing Cloud Computing. IBM Tivoli Service Automation Manager and VMware Hypervisor are utilized for building a private cloud. Moodle is utilized as the Course Management System (Course MS). The proposed Virtual LabCloud System (VLCS) offers one conceivable approach to enhance the learning procedure by utilizing Cloud Computing to offer Virtual Labs as a Service (VLaaS). The VLCS has the fundamental objective of offering virtual labs while expanding the cloud assets use. The proposed VLCS makes another connection between distributed computing and e-learning by giving virtual lab centers as a support of however many clients as could reasonably be expected while expanding the usage of private cloud assets. This approach offers the chance to upgrade the e-learning background with better approaches for educating.
