E-learning support service based on interaction among local campus clouds

Some learners couldn't access the educational resources conveniently, though the number of educational resources in universities has been growing explosively during the past few years. In this case, learning support services in e-learning system are invaluable for distance learners with provision learning service support, however, the current e-learning system couldn't solve e-learning resource sharing system of interoperability, and can not provide appropriate learning service support for learners. In this paper, we propose a campus cloud framework for e-learning, the novel approach ensures that the quality and success of distance education are maintained, and the e-learning system based on Campus Cloud framework can play an important role in the development of distance education teaching practices with a growth in the utilization rate of those learning resources in university. It is, in particular, important for learners to get learning service support from e-learning based on cloud service in campus cloud.
