Cloud computing driving online education to accelerate growth

The popularization of online education has changed the long learning mode, then cloud computing has changed the course of the development of web-based education, with CC video "video cloud service Education industry Solution" as the representative, the domestic video operating platform and technology providers to stare at the network education cloud services.

It is predicted that China's network education market in 2012 will reach 72.3 billion yuan, but its development process is not yimapingchuan. When online education has just arisen, as long as the entry can profit, to the later homogenization of serious, intensified competition, the increase in the number of students and the pressure of rising demand, so that many traditional network education enterprises into an embarrassing situation: the original network learning platform has been outdated, in the face of rapid growth in the market, technology but some subsequent weakness.

Today's network education needs to take the new IT technology as the drive, but the cloud computing innovation and the application obviously has brought the opportunity for the network education development to jump again. Some companies already aware of this point are speeding up the pace of catching up with the cloud era. As the first major professional website focusing on the High Definition Network course service of the public official examination----------Hua map, through the cooperation with the video cloud service provider CC video, based on the superiority of "the video cloud service education industry solves", the school business growth rate is more than 300%.

However, insufficient technical capacity, lack of security technology solutions, exclusive video courseware resources are not protected, operating costs are too high to restrict the rapid development of network education. For small and medium-sized network education institutions, to self research and development of video publishing, video playback, video broadcast, video ads, video statistics and other technologies not only have a high threshold, the expensive video bandwidth also makes them unbearable, high cost of construction and operating costs led to the enterprise have. Put more energy into education itself, the construction and maintenance of video platform, with a small amount of cost to a more professional video cloud service providers to deal with, is undoubtedly a development trend. Industry insiders pointed out that cloud computing application is bound to change the path of online education.
