A platform for remote computer education based on cloud computing

With the development of remote education, a platform as its main support environment exposes increasingly more problems, such as independent platform construction, learning resources, hardware facilities difficult to share, and so on. Aiming at these disadvantages, this paper discusses cloud computing technology to provide the hardware infrastructure, mass storage and service characteristics. Remote education platform based on cloud computing is put forward in order to develop a unified, open remote education system. The proposed remote education platform can change the waste of manpower and material resources which exists in distributed education information development mode. It also can optimize allocation of regional education resources and effectively eliminate the information island phenomenon between remote education platforms. © 2016, UK Simulation Society.
