Abstract — Indonesia is a developing country that began to utilize information technology in education. A form of its
implementation is the use of e-learning. However, in practice there are still some obstacles, such as learning resources are not
evenly distributed, limited access to services provided, qualified educators resources are concentrated in specific areas. This led tothe emergence of disparities educational process, and technology gap due to differences in ICT infrastructure owned by any
educational institution.
Therefore this study proposes architecture of cloud-based open learning to solve these problems. The term open learning is usedin order to encouraging the development of the concept of Indonesia Open Educational Resources (IOER) and as well as theadoption of concept of cloud computing. There are several phase that we conducted in this research such as analysis, design,implementation, testing, and evaluation phase. The design of the proposed architecture consists of six layers: (1) Infrastructure, (2)Platform, (3) Application, (4) Service, (5) Access, (6) User. As a result of the implementation from this architecture is a prototypeof Indonesia - Virtual Open Learning System (iVOLS).
In experiment, personalization e-learning runs as a service that need large storage and other shared facilities to conduct theprogram so the system can delivered different learning materials to different learners. The e-learning personalization in cloudenvironment classified successful if the learners got the best performance on learning and it shown by their evaluation score.
Based on the test results and evaluation showed that the availability on Cloud-Based Open Learning further meet user needs. This
is indicated by the presence of a simple infrastructure services, application services with just one stage and the availability of awider range of data and the resource sharing. In accessibility, Cloud-Based Open Learning provides easy access to the user. By
economically, the result of evaluation showed that Cloud-Based Open Learning has an investment of 35.61% efficiency, increase
Return On Investment (ROI) of 60.95% and Net Present Value (NPV) of 81.97% from the user's perspective. While from theprovider’s perspective, Cloud-Based Open Learning has an investment of 200% efficiency, increase Return On Investment (RoI)of 220.4% and Net Present Value (NPV) of 109.55%.
