By Carolyn J Dawson, TMCnet Contributor


The role of online learning systems is being influenced by the intelligent learning platform from LoudCloud Systems. The user- and design-centric product is creating buzz in the higher education space.

The company has made significant inroads in the higher education space in less than a year since the release of their intelligent platform. Career Education Corporation and Grand Canyon University are two of LoudCloud’s high-profile customers. More than 150,000 students are being educated annually by these two customers combined.


“We are pleased to see the excitement generated by LoudCloud within the education community. Our focus on innovation, design, student adoption, flexibility and customer satisfaction made our users our biggest evangelists,” said Manoj Kutty, CEO, LoudCloud, in a release.

Built around a Web 2.0 environment, LoudCloud features aesthetically pleasing interface and intuitive workflows. Apart from powerful collaborative learning features, the platform offers adaptive learning technologies, and actionable analytics. Student outcomes are improved with the instruction and intervention which are guided by the actionable analytics. Institutions can reduce deployment costs as LoudCloud can be delivered as a SAAS application over the cloud. At the same time institutions are also provided access to the latest technologies.

According to C.P. Jois, vice president of Enterprise Architecture at Career Education Corporation, a refreshing change in the approach to the development of an LMS has been introduced by LoudCloud.

Compelling flexibility in student-focused offerings is offered to customers by LoudCloud’s LMS. Path-breaking potential in improving online education effectiveness is offered by LoudCloud’s predictive analytics platform.

Jois added that a comprehensive product suite with capabilities for social collaboration, academic instruction, and predictive analytics is offered by LoudCloud. Users are also provided end-to-end support by the company.

Brian Mueller, CEO of Grand Canyon University, said, “In a relatively short period of time, LoudCloud distinguished itself as an innovator in the learning platform space. LoudCloud’s Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 features, built around their e-reader, help drive greater engagement with the learning materials. The powerful analytics manager crunches engagement data to provide actionable reports that guide students, instructors, and course administrators on improving outcomes.”
