Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, August 27, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- LoudCloud Systems takes another important step in bringing next generation, technology oriented teaching and learning in India. The company has been selected as the learning technology partner by the School of Computer Sciences of Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU), Nashik.

LoudCloud Systems will license their new age, innovatively designed Learning Management System (LMS) application to YCMOU and will work closely with YCMOU to train their users for ensuring the optimal usage of learning platform in their various programs.

Terming the education ecosystem by LoudCloud as "user friendly LMS, created from users perspective", Director of School of Computer Science of YCMOU said "LoudCloud was chosen because of the platform's advanced flexibility and technological capabilities giving institutions like us to create an easy to use and rapidly scalable personal learning and teaching environment for every user."

Commenting on the client acquisition, Amit Bansal, Head - India Sales of LoudCloud Systems said, "LoudCloud is a next generation adaptive learning and teaching platform that allows enormous flexibility to institutions to launch and administer live and offline courses. LoudCloud's powerful Analytics tracks learning, curates related content and provides workflows for instructors to improve learning outcomes."

Integrating the latest Web 2.0 technologies to adapt to current student learning needs, LoudCloud addresses the significant limitations towards course authoring and management, faculty-student engagement and on-demand student performance improvement, within the open source learning solutions space.
