Cloud-based LMS (custom variation)
Why Choose This Project?
Education is rapidly moving online, and traditional LMS platforms often lack scalability, personalization, and integration with cloud-native services. A custom cloud-based LMS allows institutions or training providers to design a flexible platform for delivering courses, assessments, progress tracking, and collaboration tools while benefiting from cloud storage, scalability, and analytics.
This project is ideal for students who want hands-on experience with cloud computing, e-learning platforms, and full-stack web development.
