Feedback cloud service for the smart cyber university

Abstract

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have changed the approach to education forever. With all the benefits that they brought they also revealed a lot of problems in the brick-and-mortar universities. It turned out that the courses in the latter were often outdated, irrelevant or simply not as good as the online ones. MOOCs set up the natural competition between the educational institutions. Thus there emerged a need for the quality assessment systems that can help to evaluate and improve the current courses. The article describes the first stage of the implementation of such a system as a part of the Smart Cyber University project. The solution offered is a framework that allows measuring the efficiency of the educational process in real-time and make decisions based on the obtained results. The prototype is now being developed and tested at Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics by Anastasia Makarevich and Roman Suvorov.
