- Abstract
Information and network technologies have been widely used in education, especially in higher education. With the prevailed use of computer at office, in classroom and at home, teachers have to deal with different computer environments, which bring teachers many big challenges, such as how to manage version control of the same work and how to make sure availability of the same software in differential working environments. To solve the problems coming with different working environment, we presented a cloud based working and teaching system for teachers in higher education. With this model, each teacher will work and teach with the same computer environment from wherever at any time as long as internet connection is available. Working and teaching with this cloud based system, teachers can focus on their work. There is no need to worry about underline computer infrastructure, such as storage and security. With a single working and teaching computer environment, a teacher does not worry about problems such as version control and software compatibility. We demonstrated method to use this model when we taught computer networking course for undergraduate students.
