Top1. Introduction
During the last few years, the nature of the internet use was constantly changing from merely webpage’s read to an environment that allows end-users to run software applications. Interactivity and collaboration have become the keywords of the new technology. There is no doubt the future belongs to the intelligent Web (DeCoufle, 2009). Intelligent web supports the creation of a new generation of applications that are able to run on a wide range of hardware devices, like mobile phones or PDAs. On the other hand, the need for education is increasing day by day, so the development and the improvement of the existing learning environment are required.
In coming decades, the education system will embrace cloud-based technologies more than today. In a global economy, cloud-based virtual learning is not only convenient, it is highly required. As demand for this type of technology increases, software providers offer training systems with advanced functions and features that promote collaboration and customization at the client end. Experts predict these systems have the power to change business services, products, and organizational structures of the future computing. This is why many organizations choose Learning Management Systems (LMSs) as their cloud-based virtual learning environment.
