Abstract

The benefits of cloud technologies for Learning Management Systems (LMS) are enormous. Cloud services can provide a better user experience and greater flexibility. Moodle with about 250 million users is one of the most widely used LMS, which also has a cloud-based version. During this period of the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of this system is intensified. Many universities, schools and organizations have started to conduct most of their learning activities online. This has increased the number of Moodle users. At the Goce Delchev University - Shtip we have been using Moodle for 10 years. In order to be able to serve all the requests of the users, good servers and infrastructure are needed that will provide uninterrupted access. On premises servers often cannot provide good scalability. Cloud technologies offer huge opportunities in this regard. The scaling they provide is extremely important when systems have an increasing number of users. So, we had to think about migrating to the cloud. This paper presents the possibilities of cloud technologies as well as the procedure for migration of Moodle instance to the cloud.
