Is there something better than Cloud computing in E-learning?
Readers, my immediate reaction would be No, not yet. Cloud computing is by far the best technology evolved for effective E-learning. Cloud Computing is an innovative approach which allows learners to access learning material and information anytime and from anywhere. There are several more reasons why cloud-based system is better than the traditional systems and they are:
1. Less Costly: Cloud Computing can be considered as an alternative to minimize cost as this does not require to download and install any specific software requirements and personals for the development and maintenance of these software. As all this process in cloud data center.
2. Enhances Performance: This reduces the need of crash recovery, since the data is stored in the clouds. The cloud service provider is responsible for any data crashes.
3. Speedy Updates: Since the e-learning applications are run through the cloud power, the software gets automatically updated in cloud source. This enables e-learners to get updates instantly.
4. Multiple Devices: Cloud based commuting can be run on multiple devices like smartphones, PC’s and tablets with internet connectivity.
5. Scalability Activity: With the help of cloud-based software business can adapt according to the rapidly changing environment. This allows businesses to increase or decrease the resources just by adding or removing the number of servers as per the requirement of the businesses.
6. Global Talent Pool: Cloud Commuting allows users similar experience on any internet connection with minimum software requirements. Same work can be done from multiple geographical locations just by connecting a server to the cloud.
7. Improves Security: In traditional methods, the system crashes resulted into huge data loss which is a major setback to the business. If the data is saved through Cloud computing which is a safer option as both the software and the data are located on remote servers that are well protected against security breache.
