Abstract
Most existing e-Learning platforms are unable to share learning resources between cloud platform and public network, and normally need additional cost to deploy the environment. This paper presents a new e-Learning model based on the virtual private network and private cloud, which could help the student to easily setup and configure his own e-Learning environment with less cost for efficiently sharing resources in universities. Firstly this paper describes the academic private cloud tool that offers a simple environment to experiment cloud computing concepts. Based on this private cloud, e-Learning system can be easily installed by using standard local computing resources, without the need of different hardware or external resources. Hence, this paper illustrates the framework of VPN and Private Cloud Integration, aiming at resource sharing in the university environment. The e-Learning platform is also scalable and capable to interconnect other multi-platform developed in different locations. This proposed framework solves the various challenges faced by e-Learning, and increases the availability, reliability and scalability of cloud based e-Learning systems.
