2.  Thesis Subject  Paper Reading  Current Works  Future Works

3.  Develop a LMS on a Cloud environment Learning Management Service  Provide learning service for task and activity  Provide learning service management  Personalized service

4.  Why we use Cloud environment? Ubiquitous learning  Sharing services and resources on Cloud, and user can access at anytime from anywhere. Stable learning environment  Scalable network adapts automatically on user’s demand or workload and then user would not feel the lag while workload on the server is heavy. Data Backup Mechanism  Tier-2 Level data center for recovery and backup

9.  Why use RoR? Design a platform for services provision. Rails framework, MVC structure makes it easier and more intuitive to develop and maintain. REST mechanism: every user’s request is a URL, and what we need is a server that can handle this URL. Using RoR to design such platform provide a better scalability on those services or platform itself
