Cloud Based Teaching System in Higher Education: A Case Study in Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication

Abstract:

Information and network technologies have great positive effect on teaching and learning in education. Many companies and researchers have developed various teaching and learning models to promote teaching and learning processes. In higher education, teachers work on different computer environments, which bring teachers many difficulties, such as version control of teachers working and software availability. We presented a cloud based working and teaching system for teachers so that each teacher will work with the same computer environment wherever and whenever they are as long as internet connection is available. With this model, teachers can focus on their work instead of underline computer infrastructure.
