Design and implementation of digital learning resources using cloud services – ORA case
Session
Computer Science and Communication Engineering
Description
Kosova’s primary and secondary school poor results in local and international level show that there is a need of including new tools and methodologies in order to transform education using technology. Providing digital learning materials have proved to be very useful. Main purpose of this research is to identify technological possibilities in providing such materials through cloud services for the grades I-XII. Its main research question is: “How to design a platform that fulfills the needs of the material also being competitive to other stuff on Internet, such as video games and social networks?” Moreover, we address the issues on deciding about the best techniques to be used on providing such materials and the underlying hardware and software requirements. Cloud services are large in number and advantageous when comparing it to traditional ones e.g. scalability, processing power, availability, to name a few. The Microservices architecture cloud platform described in this paper ensures student’s attractiveness and competitiveness at the same time by including video games for learning purposes. As per the case for the learning material of the curriculum for grad I-XII of Kosovo education system, it was estimated that the required storage space is around 32 TB. Besides the current results, for future work is planned to include applications that stimulate experiments in chemistry, biology, geography, and Virtual Labs (through Virtual Reality technology).
