A fedearted E-learning cloud system based on mixed reality

Abstract

The continuous evolution of new technologies and devices encourage researchers and specialists, in learning and E-learning domain, to take advantage of them in order to enhance learning and E-learning tasks. Due to its flexibility and some other benefits compared to the conventional learning, E-learning gained a lot from the field of learning and training. Cloud computing presents today a very important low-cost infrastructure which can respond to all kinds of software and hardware user needs. In this paper, we propose a federated E-learning cloud system capable of enhancing, substantially, the quality of E-learning by using the mixed reality technology. Actually, our system is intended to be used by any learner including those having some special needs (talent and smart peoples). One of the attractive sides of the proposed system is its capability to use existing courses and learning objects provided on the Internet in order to deliver them to the end-user in a customized manner. The proposed system is intended to be built on a federated cloud infrastructure as a set of ubiquitous services that can be accessed by any user.
