The increase in the use of the Internet not only as a repository of resources for learning but also as a means for the delivery of courses and specially prepared teaching material is a particularly significant innovation in the range of education. The main concept here is a Virtual class, which is based on the principles of CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) systems. This paper describes an integrated, WWW based platform for the development of web enabled environments over TCP/IP networks, such as Internet. This platform is designated through a Teletraining and Collaborative Learning Application. The proposed platform aspires to be an efficient solution for a group of students and teachers that need a shared workspace, supporting remote interactive lectures, flexible exchange of teaching material and various communication utilities, with focus on transparent and secure interaction.

Distance learning through e-learning courses has become the most important and commonly requested mode of learning in the higher education system over the past decade. Many aspects of our lives have been upended by COVID-19 including education. Distance education became a requirement at lightning speed, due to the pandemic and worldwide shutdown. According to the University of Kansas, at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak in early April, more than 1.5 billion students, or 91.3 percent of global enrolment, were directly affected by school closures. The question of whether or not to migrate from physical classroom is no more the priority but how quick and efficiently we can adopt distance learning. This paper evaluates the incorporation of the emerging technologies into the concepts of distance learning in terms of efficiency in the teaching and learning environment at universities, polytechnics and colleges.

Cloud-based e-learning, 2018

Learning (and self-learning) is one of the most important activities in human professional and personal life. Over the past several years, there has been a very strong tendency to emphasize the electronic form of education. The aim is the students to have access to learning materials anytime, anywhere and through various types of electronic devices connected to Internet (desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, phablets, tablets, etc.). With the increasingly strong use of cloud technologies, many solutions have been provided for flexible planning and implementation of e-learning. The necessary knowledge is given in a modern, cheap and easily accessible way. This article overviews the concept and the services provided by cloud technologies. An example is presented for the use of cloud computing during the students' education at the Plovdiv University "Paisii Hilendarski" within the "Web programming" course realized on the base of WordPress and using the cloud platform CloudAccess.

E-learning is the new means which has the potential to support the traditional education system. Now a day’s elearning is very popular and adopted by every organization. Along with the recent development of the technologies, every organization has the opportunity to improve the quality and efficiency of learning. In this paper we are providing an architecture through which we can take the advantage of internet based learning and provide the online materials in the form of audio, video and files. This paper describes the importance of internet based learning via cloud computing.

Most people recognize that changes in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are having profound effects on our society and our lives. Teachers especially seem to be very interested in the use of ICT and distant learning as a feasible solution for all educational levels. Distant education is understood as a type of education where ICT applications play a significant role in the learning process. The main object in this learning process is the learner and the main subject is the educational institution, not the teacher. During the last years there is a remarkable increase of research on online learning and the use of educational technology. In this article we study the exploitation of one of the most common asynchronous teleducation (namely the e-class platform) Learning Management Systems (LMS) in tertiary education in Greece.

This paper proposes a web framework addressing the distance learning scenario. It consists of web-based course-authoring and a distance learning management system. The purpose of this work is to set up an effective environment for learning. The distance learning platform is implemented in the form of common client/server web application with three participants. The administrator manages the web-server using Internet Information Services (IIS 7.0) manager to connect to web server, Active Server Pages (ASP) script files to control the system, and SQL server 2008 for the database system to manage all data. The database represents the core of the system, which comprises users' management database and courses databases. The instructor uses the web browser to access the web server to achieve main functions that are permitted by the distance learning system administrator. The learner accesses the teaching contents through the web browser. The system architecture is based on 3-Tier client-server architecture allowing natural improvement on features, such as, accessibility, reusability, and scalability. The proposed system has been deployed successfully in more than one scenario as remote site education and local classroom enhancement.
