The Construction of a Digital Resource Library of English for Higher Education Based on a Cloud Platform

Abstract

This paper conducts in-depth research and analysis on the construction of an English digital resource library for higher education through the cloud platform. The cloud platform allows the English resource library to achieve integration, efficiency, scalability, and interactivity and then solves the problems of how to realize the co-construction and sharing of resources among multiple platforms in vocational institutions and improve the utilization rate of resources. The construction of the English resource library in higher vocational institutions cannot be separated from the collaboration between institutions and enterprises, and institutions must face up to the problems existing in the construction of the current resource library. Firstly, the requirements of various aspects of the higher vocational English digital resource library system are given from three aspects, functional requirements, performance requirements, and operational requirements, in strict accordance with the requirement analysis steps; secondly, the overall technical architecture and network topology architecture of the education cloud platform where the higher vocational English digital resource library system is located are analyzed and given in general to ensure the security, scalability, and ease of operation of this platform and then the resource collection and resource storage. The application of cloud computing technology can solve the problems of difficulty in obtaining teaching resources, insufficient storage space, limited communication, and slow circulation; it can realize the integration and integrated management of various resources through technologies such as networking, virtualization, and distributed storage. Finally, based on the optimization strategies proposed in this paper, the core modules of the higher vocational English digital resource library system are designed and implemented, and some important and representative interfaces and source codes are demonstrated. To ensure the operation performance, the situation of multiple users operating the higher-level English digital resource library system at the same time is simulated, and the overall performance of the higher-level English digital resource library system is evaluated for the common operations such as uploading resource files, downloading resource files, and querying resource files, which confirms the rationality of the design strategy in this paper and greatly improves the user experience and increases the utilization rate of teaching resources.
