This document discusses using cloud computing as a platform for an efficient e-learning website. It first reviews related work on using cloud computing for e-learning and discusses the system architecture with three layers: an infrastructure layer, integration platform layer, and application layer. It then analyzes features of top e-learning websites and identifies a minimum set of features needed. A key issue is that most websites do not provide full access to content without login, limiting their ability to track users and provide a complete experience. The document proposes using a free login process to give users full access to content and improve performance through complete user information collection.
FUNCTIONAL SEMANTICS AWARE BROKER BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR E-LEARNING WEB SERVICESIJITE
E-learning enables the learner to gain diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere and on any device. Learning
resources (objects) and resource providers play a very important role in e-learning applications/systems.
The increasing demand for interoperability in existing heterogeneous e-learning systems to support
accessibility and reusability is the most challenging research issue. Web services and SOA enables
interoperability between heterogeneous applications over the Web. To adopt Web services technology
towards the reusability and aggregation of e-learning services, the conceptual Web services architecture
and its building blocks need to be augmented. In this paper, a well formed functional semantics approach
is proposed to describe e-learning Web services providing variety of learning objects/resources. The
paper presents an extendible functional knowledge to map the learner’s or provider’s versions of service
descriptions into a standard form called Abstract Description. The authors propose a broker based elearning Web service architecture which facilitates effective e-learning service publishing and discovery
mechanisms. The paper explores a scheme to extend the WSDL 2.0 document in order to incorporate
functional semantics of e-learning Web services and their operations. The paper presents an e-learning
service knowledge called Learning Operation Tree (LOT) for the quick e-learning service discovery. The
experimentation shows that, the proposed broker based architecture for e-learning Web services
facilitates effective discovery with moderate performance in terms of recall and response.

The advancement of e-learning technologies has made it viable for developments in education and
technology to be combined in order to fulfil educational needs worldwide. E-learning consists of informal
learning approaches and emerging technologies to support the delivery of learning skills, materials,
collaboration and knowledge sharing. E-learning is a holistic approach that covers a wide range of
courses, technologies and infrastructures to provide an effective learning environment. The Learning
Management System (LMS) is the core of the entire e-learning process along with technology, content, and
services. This paper investigates the role of model-driven personalisation support modalities in providing
enhanced levels of learning and trusted assimilation in an e-learning delivery context. We present an
analysis of the impact of an integrated learning path that an e-learning system may employ to track
activities and evaluate the performance of learners.
Development of an E-Learning System Incorporating Semantic WebIJORCS
This document presents a framework for developing an e-learning system using Semantic Web technology. The framework incorporates ontologies to semantically describe learning content and materials. It provides services like registration, uploading course documents, tutorials, announcements and a semantic search engine. The framework uses technologies like PHP, Apache Web Server, MySQL and RAP to implement the e-learning system. The authors believe this Semantic Web-based model allows for more personalized and flexible access to learning materials compared to traditional e-learning systems.
MIT launched its OpenCourseWare project to provide free online course materials from 32 MIT courses across 16 departments. The materials are attracting worldwide users, including MIT students. While the materials are free to use, they do not provide course credit or a MIT degree. The project aims to disseminate knowledge publicly rather than enable distance learning. It is estimated to cost $7.5-10 million annually during its pilot phase.

Over the last decade, researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of knowledge related to electronic learning or e-learning. This movement has affected different elements and components; infrastructures, tools, content-oriented applications, human-computer interactions, pedagogical issues, methodologies and models, case studies and projects. This chapter briefly describes the overall idea of the development of e-learning system for OGITECH by using Apache, PHP and MySQL. This chapter includes objectives of the project, scope of work, problem statement and features of project before developed the own sites.
E-Learning has its historical background in about 30 years of development in computer based on the training and education. With the growth of the internet this kind of training became much more accepted and the creation of multimedia contents and systems to manage learning activities went on faster. Additional e-learning is based on a long tradition of teaching and learning experience. The larger worlds Information Technology and Education and Training influenced the new term e-learning and so e-learning became a subset of both of them.
Nowadays, e-learning refers to learning that is delivered or enabled via electronic technology. It encompasses learning delivered via a range of technologies such as the internet, television, videotape, and computer-based training. In principle, e-learning is a kind of distance learning. Learning materials can be accessed from the web or intranet via a computer and tutors and learners can communicate with each other using e-mail, chat or discussion forums.
Therefore, it can be used as the main method of delivery of training or as a combined approach with classroom-based training. It can be valuable when used as a part of well-planned and properly supported education and training environment, but e-learning is not a magic bullet that replaces existing pedagogical theories and approaches.
Nevertheless, it has almost everything that those theories need to get implemented.
Many learning and technology professionals believe that e-learning will have become state of the art when we will stop referring to it by a separate name and begin considering it as an integral part of a complete learning environment.
In this modern, age of society where everyone requires individual attention to his/her self in order to gain far more than publicly gather information. Internet becomes the part of life in these circumstances when technology is much more active than any other source of communication. People need to have all information regarding their field of interest at one place stop and this could only be possible because of internet. According to a research, students engage with a lot more new information's from various sources. Particularly, students are more independent in electronic based courses than traditional way of learning courses. Although the virtual source of teaching courses are not so effective because of student unable to pay attention being as in practical classrooms but students are still progressive.

Load balancing clustering on moodle LMS to overcome performance issue of e-le...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In dealing with the rapid growth of digitalization, the e-learning system has become a mandatory component of any Higher Education (HE) to serve academic processes requests. Along with the increasing number of users, the need for service availability and capabilities of eLearning are increasing day by day. The organization should always look for strategies to keep the eLearning always able to meet these demands. This report presents the implementation of Load Balancing Clustering (LBC) mechanism applied to Moodle LMS in an HE Institution to deal with the poor performance issues. By utilizing existing tools such as HAProxy and keepalived, the implemented LBC configuration delivers a qualified e-learning system performance. Both qualitative and quantitative parameters convince better performance than before. In four months of the operation there is no user complaint received. Meanwhile, in the current semester has been running for two months, the up-time is 99.8 % of 52.685 minutes operational time.
This document discusses using social networking platforms as new technology tools for e-learning. It begins by introducing how social networks have made connecting people globally easier and cheaper. It then discusses how e-learning through web-based learning systems provides advantages for both teachers and students by allowing flexibility. The popularity of using social networks as an educational tool is increasing as educators incorporate platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn into learning. A study examined students' usage of learning management systems versus social networks for educational purposes. It found that social networks were used more regularly and seen as more useful and effective for spreading information among students. The conclusion is that while some students still prefer learning management systems, social networks can provide a richer environment for sharing knowledge between educators and peers

This document discusses the development of an LMS (learning management system) framework appropriate for young pupils. It begins by reviewing common LMS standards and trends, as well as advantages and disadvantages of existing LMS platforms. The document then proposes a strategy for developing a web-based LMS according to the abilities of young pupils, describing a software architecture based on SCORM specifications. A prototype LMS was developed using a user-centered design methodology tailored specifically for young students.
Moodle and Blackboard are both learning management systems, but Moodle is free and open-source while Blackboard is proprietary software that schools must pay licensing fees for. Moodle allows for plugins and customization while Blackboard has features like assignment submission, discussions, and online quizzes. A study found students and faculty preferred Blackboard over Moodle due to reliability and ease of use of tools. For elementary schools on a small budget, Moodle may be a good affordable option.
The document discusses several projects undertaken by UK colleges to utilize cloud computing applications to support employer engagement and work-based learning.
Bolton College provided work-based assessors with Chromebooks and Google Apps to access resources like e-portfolios and track learner progress remotely. Barking and Dagenham College used Google Apps for enterprise learners and customized administrative functions. Telford College set up a website and "app store" for local businesses to access open-source software hosted in their private cloud.
The projects aimed to provide flexible access to information for remote learners and engage employers. While connectivity issues arose, overall the colleges found benefits like increased flexibility, cost savings, and improved services for learners, staff
Section 4.1 student and other stakeholder relationship management in the cloudAssociation of Colleges
Cloud computing provides opportunities to better manage relationships with students and other stakeholders through integrated systems. Three colleges implemented cloud-based relationship management projects with different approaches. Brockenhurst College migrated their existing system to the cloud for improved scalability and mobile access. Gloucestershire College developed a new integrated website and CRM system in the cloud. City College Coventry created a mobile app for key campus information. The projects aimed to improve communication and support for students throughout their learning journey using cloud technologies.
This document discusses how an intra-college portal can enhance the quality of learning in higher education institutions. It defines an intra-college portal as a web-based platform for students, teachers, and administrators within a college to collaborate and share information. The document explores how technologies like discussion forums, blogs, online repositories, and wikis can serve as building blocks for a high-quality learning environment by facilitating asynchronous collaboration. It argues that an intra-college portal allows for more efficient information flow within a college compared to traditional methods, and thus can help ensure overall quality.
The document summarizes four EU-funded projects conducted by NKI Distance Education/Norwegian School of Information Technology from 2001-2008 exploring mobile learning. The projects aimed to extend flexibility of distance education by making course materials and communication accessible on mobile devices. Testing showed that mobile access increased flexibility for students to study anywhere. While graphical materials were difficult on small screens, interaction and communication generally worked well on both mobile and standard technology. Mobile learning was found to enhance accessibility and flexibility for distance learners.
This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of different home storage conditions and preservation techniques on the chemical constituents of tomatoes. Tomatoes were subjected to three post-harvest treatments: without preservative (control), preserved with groundnut oil, and preserved with salt. The samples were then stored under different conditions for 8 weeks. Chemical analyses found that the total soluble solids, insoluble solids, pH, sugar, salt, ascorbic acid and ash contents decreased in fresh and dehydrated samples over time, while acidity increased. Powdered tomato samples maintained their chemical constituents best over the 8-week period. The results suggest that powdering is an effective preservation technique worthy of further investigation.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of different home storage conditions and preservation techniques on the chemical constituents of tomatoes. Tomatoes were subjected to three post-harvest treatments: without preservative (control), preserved with groundnut oil, and preserved with salt. The samples were then stored under different conditions for 8 weeks. Chemical analyses found that the total soluble solids, insoluble solids, pH, sugar, salt, ascorbic acid and ash contents decreased in fresh and dehydrated samples over time, while acidity increased. Powdered tomato samples maintained their chemical constituents best over the 8-week period. The results suggest that powdering is an effective preservation technique worthy of further investigation.

E-learning, often known as "online learning," "virtual learning," "remote learning," and other similar terms, is an alternative to traditional classroom instruction. "Distance education," "digital learning," or "mobile learning." E-learning involves using several distinct technologies, including the web, open broadcast, loop, cable, microwave, broadband lines, fibre optics, satellite, wireless communications equipment, audio/video conferencing, and others, for one-way or two-way transmission. To improve educational knowledge, e-learning makes use of interactive technology and communication infrastructure. It has the ability to change how we typically teach and learn across the board. It will improve standards and increase long-term learning involvement. Although it cannot completely replace teachers and lecturers, it will improve the quality and scope of their instruction and reduce the time spent on administration. Each learner will be changed to reach his or her full potential, and it will make it easier to give an academic force the freedom to change. It makes a very ambitious educational system for an emerging learning society feasible. As demand grows, there is a need to standardise the E-learning system and to use new technologies to raise the standard of the current system. Despite the fact that many corporations and academic institutions have previously adopted various standards, there are still certain issues with these standards' benefits and drawbacks that must be addressed by incorporating new technical standards into the current norms to improve their usability and systematicity

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

Sensors for temperature and humidity were connected to the circuit to monitor the environment wirelessly. The system provides a low-cost way to power remote sensors without needing battery replacement and avoids the high costs of wiring a power source.
1) The document proposes a model for a frequency tunable inverted-F antenna that uses ferrite material.
2) The resonant frequency of the antenna can be significantly shifted from 2.41GHz to 3.15GHz, a 31% shift, by increasing the static magnetic field placed on the ferrite material.
3) Altering the permeability of the ferrite allows tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency without changing the physical dimensions, providing flexibility to operate over a wide frequency range.
This document summarizes a research paper that presents a speech enhancement method using stationary wavelet transform. The method first classifies speech into voiced, unvoiced, and silence regions based on short-time energy. It then applies different thresholding techniques to the wavelet coefficients of each region - modified hard thresholding for voiced speech, semi-soft thresholding for unvoiced speech, and setting coefficients to zero for silence. Experimental results using speech from the TIMIT database corrupted with white Gaussian noise at various SNR levels show improved performance over other popular denoising methods.
This document reviews the design of an energy-optimized wireless sensor node that encrypts data for transmission. It discusses how sensing schemes that group nodes into clusters and transmit aggregated data can reduce energy consumption compared to individual node transmissions. The proposed node design calculates the minimum transmission power needed based on received signal strength and uses a periodic sleep/wake cycle to optimize energy when not sensing or transmitting. It aims to encrypt data at both the node and network level to further optimize energy usage for wireless communication.
This document discusses group consumption modes. It analyzes factors that impact group consumption, including external environmental factors like technological developments enabling new forms of online and offline interactions, as well as internal motivational factors at both the group and individual level. The document then proposes that group consumption modes can be divided into four types based on two dimensions: vertical (group relationship intensity) and horizontal (consumption action period). These four types are instrument-oriented, information-oriented, enjoyment-oriented, and relationship-oriented consumption modes. Finally, the document notes that consumption modes are dynamic and can evolve over time.
The document summarizes a study of different microstrip patch antenna configurations with slotted ground planes. Three antenna designs were proposed and their performance evaluated through simulation: a conventional square patch, an elliptical patch, and a star-shaped patch. All antennas were mounted on an FR4 substrate. The effects of adding different slot patterns to the ground plane on resonance frequency, bandwidth, gain and efficiency were analyzed parametrically. Key findings were that reshaping the patch and adding slots increased bandwidth and shifted resonance frequency. The elliptical and star patches in particular performed better than the conventional design. Three antenna configurations were selected for fabrication and measurement based on the simulations: a conventional patch with a slot under the patch, an elliptical patch with slots
1) The document describes a study conducted to improve call drop rates in a GSM network through RF optimization.
2) Drive testing was performed before and after optimization using TEMS software to record network parameters like RxLevel, RxQuality, and events.
3) Analysis found call drops were occurring due to issues like handover failures between sectors, interference from adjacent channels, and overshooting due to antenna tilt.
4) Corrective actions taken included defining neighbors between sectors, adjusting frequencies to reduce interference, and lowering the mechanical tilt of an antenna.
5) Post-optimization drive testing showed improvements in RxLevel, RxQuality, and a reduction in dropped calls.
This document describes the design of an intelligent autonomous wheeled robot that uses RF transmission for communication. The robot has two modes - automatic mode where it can make its own decisions, and user control mode where a user can control it remotely. It is designed using a microcontroller and can perform tasks like object recognition using computer vision and color detection in MATLAB, as well as wall painting using pneumatic systems. The robot's movement is controlled by DC motors and it uses sensors like ultrasonic sensors and gas sensors to navigate autonomously. RF transmission allows communication between the robot and a remote control unit. The overall aim is to develop a low-cost robotic system for industrial applications like material handling.
This document reviews cryptography techniques to secure the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc networks. It discusses various types of attacks on AODV like impersonation, denial of service, eavesdropping, black hole attacks, wormhole attacks, and Sybil attacks. It then proposes using the RC6 cryptography algorithm to secure AODV by encrypting data packets and detecting and removing malicious nodes launching black hole attacks. Simulation results show that after applying RC6, the packet delivery ratio and throughput of AODV increase while delay decreases, improving the security and performance of the network under attack.
The document describes a proposed modification to the conventional Booth multiplier that aims to increase its speed by applying concepts from Vedic mathematics. Specifically, it utilizes the Urdhva Tiryakbhyam formula to generate all partial products concurrently rather than sequentially. The proposed 8x8 bit multiplier was coded in VHDL, simulated, and found to have a path delay 44.35% lower than a conventional Booth multiplier, demonstrating its potential for higher speed.
This document discusses image deblurring techniques. It begins by introducing image restoration and focusing on image deblurring. It then discusses challenges with image deblurring being an ill-posed problem. It reviews existing approaches to screen image deconvolution including estimating point spread functions and iteratively estimating blur kernels and sharp images. The document also discusses handling spatially variant blur and summarizes the relationship between the proposed method and previous work for different blur types. It proposes using color filters in the aperture to exploit parallax cues for segmentation and blur estimation. Finally, it proposes moving the image sensor circularly during exposure to prevent high frequency attenuation from motion blur.
This document describes modeling an adaptive controller for an aircraft roll control system using PID, fuzzy-PID, and genetic algorithm. It begins by introducing the aircraft roll control system and motivation for developing an adaptive controller to minimize errors from noisy analog sensor signals. It then provides the mathematical model of aircraft roll dynamics and describes modeling the real-time flight control system in MATLAB/Simulink. The document evaluates PID, fuzzy-PID, and PID-GA (genetic algorithm) controllers for aircraft roll control and finds that the PID-GA controller delivers the best performance.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals

Cloud computing platform for virtual university providing
e-learning
Nisha Gautam, Dr. Manu Sood
Computer Science Department, Himachal Pradesh University Shimla-5.
Abstract: According to the present scenario, cost of the electronics is decreasing day-by-day and the cost of
services provided by it is also decreasing. So, no one wants to pay a high cost for any service. For that purpose
we tried to corporate our educational services of any e-learning website in such an environment which is most
efficient. In this paper, we have discussed about the quality of e-learning websites and trying to frame a website
on the basis of SRS. Later, we checked the interoperability among the different services through SOA and
provide cloud computing as a platform for the efficient use of our e-learning website having minimum required
features.
Keywords: Cloud computing, E-learning, SRS, SOA, Web services.
I. INTRODUCTION
The increasing growth of internet turns the education from the class to the web based learning. We can
call it e-learning (electronic learning). The best way of learning is through discovery, means by interacting with
the environment and we are considering it as the richest mode of learning which is inexpensive and doesn’t
require both intimate involvement of teacher- constructed world [1].Nowadays, the educational system has been
changed and the biggest change has taken place in textbooks. These textbooks can be moved from the black and
white papers to the colored papers and to the online text, it means the content should be available on the internet
or on the e-learning websites. We suggest the following definition to emphasize the new and different aspect of
e-learning as compared with traditional learning [2]:We can define e-learning as all forms of electronic
supported learning and teaching, which are procedural and aims to effect the construction of knowledge with
reference of individual experience, practice and knowledge of learner. Information and communication system,
whether networked or not, serve as specific media to implement mode of learning process.
We can define e-learning as the learning process through electronic means and using Internet media for
the delivery of the services. The web based study or e-learning can move from systems on the table to mobile
phones in hand. People can use their electronic media like laptops, palmtops and mobile phones having Internet
connection for their learning purpose. So, they can access data anywhere and at any time. It prevents the people
to travel long distances to learn a single course. Now, people can study at their working places along with their
jobs. So the main focus gets confined to the quality of the websites, who are providing the e-learning content on
the websites [3]. So, it is important to maintain the quality of the features available on the website. For
providing any service to the user, we should considering the quality of service. The quality is being considered
to remain progressive in environment, to maintain the standards and to survive in the competition of e-learning
websites. For achieving the goals, we should keep our website updated by modifying the content periodically.
For that purpose we have to include QOS (Quality of service) and define it as providing service differentiation
and performance assurance for Internet applications. Service differentiation provides different services to
different applications according to their requirements. Performance assurance addresses bandwidth, loss, delay
and delay variation (jitter). Bandwidth is the fundamental network resource, as its allocation determines the
application’s maximum throughput and, somewhere the bounds on end-to-end delay. Jitter is a secondary
quality-of-service metric, since a play out buffer at the receiver can transform it into additional constant delay
[4]. Here, we are focusing on service differentiation only.
II. RELATED WORK
A. E-learning area on a Cloud Computing Platform[9]
On cloud computing platform, new technologies like communication technology, network technology,
information organization technology etc can contribute in building content. A teaching platform can be built
with open architecture and having modular design in which teaching resources are shared in high degree,
communication is extremely smooth, and cross-platform operations can be executed. A collection of new
technologies and tools can be used. Now we can study system architecture according to the cloud computing
platform and e-learning platform. The application of the system architecture based on cloud computing
platform on E-Learning is composed of three layers: Infrastructure layer of E-Learning platform, Layer of
platform integration and Application layer. The architecture is shown as figure I. First layer is a infrastructure

layer containing information infrastructure and teaching resources. Information infrastructure contains web
services management, internet, equipment management, human resource management and includes hardware
and software; teaching resources involves traditional teaching material and further distributed in different
department. This layer provides the basic information to the upper layer which is the integration platform layer.
The function of integrated platform layer is to integrate variety of resources belonged to different organizations
and different platforms in first layer. These integrated resources form the basis of teaching activities. The
teaching resources are managed in different ways using cloud computing model. The teaching resources are
achieved mainly by data warehouse, data mining and information organization technology, and combined with
particular technique. This layer also act as a interface of teaching resources managers, users and the Application
layer. Application layer is the specific application which provides the information to the user through interactive
courses. The interactive resource includes teachers and learners. Learners can use their material and put some
feedback on the basis of content. It includes the full sharing of the material. It includes the maintenance of the
material resource. For accessing the information, users only need an Internet web browser or mobile phone and
other mobile devices to get the interactive experience, mobility and storage services. It includes the interactive
courses and sharing teaching resources.

III. Research Work
In our research, we have finding e-learning websites. So, we found numbers of websites who are
providing e-learning as service. But we considered only few websites out of them. We have taken only top 10 e-
learning websites for our study purpose. For getting the list of features from the websites, we framed a table
which shows the availability and non-availability of the feature in the particular website. The following table
shows the presence or absence of features in particular website:

Table1 Feature In The Website
The above table I shows the list of features which are presently available in e-learning websites. Not even a
single website, includes a complete list of features. So we got a set of minimum features required for any
website from it.
The main problem faced in those websites is the non availability of free login , because of it, they don’t
track their user. User can directly access the content and that content is not completely available to the user, it
means user have a partial access to the content available on the website. For providing full access to the content,
user should provided with a free login process. So that user can have a complete access to the content available
on the website and it helps in improving the performance by having complete information of the user.

www.iosrjournals.org 50 | Page
For framing any e-learning website, we worked upon SRS and found a list of new requirements for the
basic website. The software requirements specification is a document which is used as a communication
medium between the customer and the supplier. When the software requirement specification is completed and
is accepted by all parties, the end of the requirements engineering phase has been reached. This is not to say,
that after the acceptance phase, any of the requirements cannot be changed, but the changes must be tightly
controlled. The software requirement specification should be edited by both the customer and the supplier, as
initially neither has both the knowledge of what is required (the supplier) and what is feasible (the customer) [5].
Based upon the table analysis, we have abstracted most important features that any e-learning website should
possess. To enhance the quality of e-learning website, we framed an SRS for the website to be run by virtual
university. The SRS yielded the extended features which should be available in any e-learning website. The list
of the requirements is given below:
1. Should have a login process for the existing users.
2. Should have a login process for the new users.
3. Provide the facility to change the password.
4. Provide the facility to regain the password if the user forgets its password.
5. It should take the feedback from the users.
6. It should take the feedback from the expert.
7. It includes the experts for the maintenance of the content.
8. Arrange the content in particular sequence i.e. alphabetically or numerically.
9. List of recently accessed topic.
10. List of recently added topics.
11. Auditing staff should be there for quality check purpose.
12. Provide the content in audio/video/text.
13. Provides a chat facility to communicate with others.
14. Provides the conferences facility.
15. Provides the facility of group study and blogs.
16. Provides a list of courses.
17. Provides a list of registered student in particular course.
18. User can access the content material.
19. Provides a preview of the content available in particular course.
20. User can download the content for study purpose.
21. User can be provided with the projects after completing the course.
22. Provides a facility of reusing the content.
23. Provides the summery of the content.
24. It provides courses with keys.
25. Provides a schedule of courses.
26. Provide a facility to users to upload their contributions.
27. Contribution should be checked by the expert of related field.
28. Provides a NOC to the users who contribute their work.
29. The publishing is done by administrator only.
30. Exam preparation facility.
31. Provides the assignments to the registered user in particular course.
32. Provides a facility of exam and quiz.
33. Provides donors list.
34. Administrator should do the monitoring process.
35. Provide the receipt after completing the transaction.
36. Error message when some problem is occurred in the transaction process.
37. User should have an online account for donation purpose.
38. Provides a list of frequently asked questions to the user.
39. Provides a help facility to the user.
40. Send error messages to the user.
41. It should provide monthly or yearly basis reports.
42. List of registered user in the site.
43. Evaluate the site from the reviews of the user.
44. Provides monthly updates.
45. Provides media releases.
46. Provides a facility of tutorial demos.
47. Provides a facility of tour.
48. Provides a working procedure of new policy implementation.
49. Provides a facility to search by key.
5. Cloud computing platform for virtual university providing e-learning
www.iosrjournals.org 51 | Page
50. Provides a facility to search by topic.
51. Provides a facility to search by course.
52. Provides a list of experts.
53. Provides a list of programmes.
54. Provides a list of recordings.
55. Should return the messages to the user.
56. Only administrator can provide the unique number acknowledgements to every user.
57. List of student who got place in a merit list of the examination.
The above list provides us a list of requirements. These are the requirements which we want to be
present in any e-learning website. From this, we abstracted the list of services such that they are independent to
each other or in other words changing in any service module can not affect any other service module. The list of
services (level 3 services) is given below:
1. Login service.
2. Feedback service.
3. Maintenance of the content service.
4. Multimedia/communication service.
5. Course service/ Translated courses service.
6. Publishing service.
7. Online examination and evaluation service.
8. Donation service.
9. Error handling service.
10. Performance evaluation service.
11. Working procedures service.
12. Search service.
13. Directory service.
14. Acknowledgment service.
15. Scholarship service.
Point to be mentioned that services are independent but interoperable. In-dependency of the service is
violated because single requirement covers more than one service. Then we did another exercise in which we re-
engineer it again, so that minimum numbers of requirements covers in particular service and do not covers in
another service. It makes our services independent and the services are independent in terms of maintainability
but practically they are mutual dependent. To check the mutual dependency of the services, we made a service
diagram. It gives us service oriented architecture for the website. We propose an SOA for the website displaying
the connection between different services. Service oriented architecture e is a paradigm for organizing and
utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains. It provides a
uniform means to offer, discover, interact with and use capabilities to produce desired effects consistent with
measurable preconditions and expectations [7]. The service diagram for the website providing e-learning
facility is given below:
Fig.2 Service Diagram
6. Cloud computing platform for virtual university providing e-learning
www.iosrjournals.org 52 | Page
After that we further make a group of services, so that we can get further refined list of services. We
reduced these level 3 services on the basis of their collaborative power. And that will gives us services at level
2. The level 2 services are:
1. Security
a. Login
b. Maintenance of content
2. Material
a. Feedback
b. Courses/ Translated courses
c. Online exams and evaluation
d. publishing
3. Administrator
a. Performance evaluation
b. Error handling
c. Acknowledgment
4. Help
a. Search
b. Directory service
c. Working procedure / demos
d. Donation
e. Scholarship
5. Interface
a. Multimedia/ communication
Now the website is proposed for the above services and corporate into the web and hence the services
are transformed into web services. Web services will convert our services into the web application. It
communicates services by using open protocols like SOAP. These web services are self contained and self
descriptive and discovered by UDDI and used by other application. The basis of our web services is XML.
“Web Services are encapsulated, loosely coupled contracted functions offered via standard protocols” where:
• “Encapsulated” means the implementation of the function is never seen from the outside.
• “Loosely coupled” means changing the implementation of one function does not require change of the
invoking function.
• “Contracted” means there are publicly available descriptions of the function’s behavior, how to bind to the
function as well as its input and output parameters [6].
A web service includes the 3 elements:
SOAP: we can define it as XML based protocol to let applications exchange information over HTTP.
UDDI: It’s the abbreviation of universal description, discovery and integration. It is used for storing
information about web services. Directory of web service interface is described by WSDL. It is communicates
via SOAP. UDDI is built into Microsoft .net platform.
WSDL: It will help you in locating web services. It breaks down web services into 3 specific
identifiable elements that can be combined or reused once defined. WSDL includes 3 major elements:
1. Type
2. Operation
3. Binding
WSDL includes the utility elements:
1. Documentation: It includes the documentation of the web services in the human readable form.
2. Import: We can import other WSDL file or document.
The e-learning websites are most efficient mode of learning and it helps in providing a good learning
environment. So it is important to put this website on the server in such a way, in which we can make our
service more efficient to the users. So we are choosing a cloud server as infrastructure for the e-learning
website. It is defined as the delivery of providing various computing product as services [8].
We don’t need to install any software in our system to run any application. Shared resources,
softwarea, infrastructure, information and data are provided as a paid service to the end customer over web.
Cloud is not an internet but much more beyond that. It provides a facility to use any technology over there
whenever we need it. We can access the content by using web browser.
We can implement our website on the cloud computing platform because of the following reasons:
1. Cost of education: The accessed service or material from the cloud is cheaper as compared to the other
platforms providing the same service on large scale.
2. Platform independent: In this platform, different platform can work together but in traditional platform,
only the same platform can interact with each other.
3. Scalability: the infrastructure of the cloud is increased according to the need of the user.
7. Cloud computing platform for virtual university providing e-learning

4. Application independent: For accessing the content from the cloud, we don’t have a need to install any extra
software to access the content or service. It will automatically open on the cloud with the help of browser.
Based on the above study, cloud computing platform can be widely used in distance education and the online
training of business professionals. A lifelong learning environment
Should be built possibly to facilitate the development of information technology in education and ensure the
further improvement of the quality of teaching and learning activities for changing the pattern of teaching.
IV. CONCLUSION
We have concluded that, e-learning is an open source of learning. For the advancement of e-learning
website, it is also important to have user friendly environment to the user. So, we can provide better
environment to the user in which they can work efficiently without any barrier of the different environments.
For that purpose the cloud computing platform is used. It is an open platform for any service and virtually
available on the web.
We can further enhance the quality of website by framing another SRS and get further refined requirement.
We can consider other universities for study.
