Transforming traditional educational delivery methods through the deployment of intelligent cloud systems and data-enhanced instructional tools

Transforming Educational Delivery Methods with Intelligent Cloud Systems - The high development of communication and computing technologies has brought new opportunities for both users and educational institutions. Specifically for the classroom, new technologies tend to increase the cost of hardware resources and software licenses. The cloud computing model allows the offering of these resources at a highly reduced cost. Cloud computing is a highly appealing solution for organizations, since it avoids over-investing in hardware resources, software licenses, and staff. Nevertheless, its applicability often goes against the production of standard services for general use, but also for niche markets like education — knowledge sharing. For flexibility and high tailoring of services and resources to specific educational needs, and considering integrated strategies that involve the development of specific educational delivery, the discussion is illustrated with the Transforming Educational Delivery Methods with Intelligent Cloud Systems. The regulatory framework tailored to education in the cloud is very recent, and educational institutions are asking for wise and prudent analysis of technological progress and migration. Educational content is generally structured for multiple formats, considering different media, different strategies of broadcasting, and different devices; presentations, videos, and interactive material require plans centered around new products and services with contributions to the educational delivery that have economic logic associated with immediate demands in cloud resources.
