Integrated Learning Approaches Based on Cloud Computing for Personalizing e-Learning Environment

Improving the performance of e-learning services to provide a scalable and effective e-learning system is a big challenge for the educational organizations. The e-learning system faces many challenges in pedagogical services (e.g. learning design and learning content problems), and technical services (e.g. resource provisioning and financial cost). This article presents an e-learning environment based on cloud computing (PCLE) in attempt to enhance the e-learning services' by customizing the contents of the course's material depending on the students' knowledge, experiences, and requirements. Also, the system focuses on supporting and achieving reusability, interoperability, adaptation and personalization in order to overcome the passive role of the student and transfer it into an interactive and useful participation. On the other hand, PCLE is built over the cloud computing environment trying to overcome the traditional web-hosting challenges as scalability, availability, and cost.
