| Popis: | UPSI Learning Management System or MyGuru2 is an e-learning portal that offers a robust set of teaching and learning tools, functions and features. It enables lecturers to create and upload learning resources and activities for learner's access and at the same time allow them to track and monitor their learning activities. Currently the system is used in hybrid technology method and be part of university's integrated management system which applies the concept of data centralization and single sign-on. MyGuru2 consists of four main features such as subject information that contains outcome based education (OBE), assessment that contains auto and manual grading system and collaborative tools that includes forum, file sharing, online survey and web conferencing. The other feature is an administrative tool that enables lecturers to manage and revise their subject to meet the changing needs of students. With the increasing number of students, especially in distance learning (PJJ) which entirely dependent on the MyGuru2 as the medium of communication and learning, system infrastructure need to be upgraded to accommodate the increasing access and usage as well as service delivery. We propose cloud computing as a solution where MyGuru2 will be put on convenient, ondem and network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be maintained and provisioned with minimal management effort. The project will present the issues and challenges of the current MyGuru2 system and how cloud computing manage to overcome the problem in the meantime provide high availability and usability. We also study how it affects students to communicate and share materials with their lecturers and classmates compared to the current practice. |
