Design and Implementation of C-iLearning: A Cloud-based Intelligent Learning System

The gradual development of intelligent learning iLearning systems has prompted the changes of teaching and learning. This paper presents the architecture of an intelligent learning iLearning system built upon the recursive iLearning model and the key technologies associated with this model. Based on this model and the technical structure of a cloud-based intelligent system, the authors developed an exemplary iLearning system-"Mobile Class", accessible from the Shanghai Lifelong Learning Network, an online platform for the continuing education of Shanghai residents. This cloud-based intelligent learning C-iLearning system can adopt the cloud management model and synchronize users' learning process in the clouds, so as to support users' continuous learning with different devices. Formal testing with target users revealed the effectiveness of this system in supporting anytime anywhere learning.
