Cloud-based system for improved online studies

Under centralised system, every college will have its own Moodle portal: Gurukkal

A cloud-based open source learning management system and centrally-supported educational technology solutions will be deployed to upskill students and teachers with digital capabilities as part of the government’s ‘Let’s Go Digital’ initiative in the higher education sector. The system is expected to reduce the expenditure and other difficulties in setting up infrastructure for the Moodle-based Learning Management System in partnering institutions. The State Higher Education Council and the Digital University Kerala have jointly prepared its implementation package as part of the Chief Minister’s 100-day programmes. “We propose to use Virtual Machine Containers’ system. Virtual Machine is a virtual computer with virtual CPU, virtual memory, and virtual disk space, running inside the existing server,” said Rajan Gurukkal, vice chairperson of the Kerala State Higher Education Council.
