Abstract

This article discusses the importance of scalability in e-learning platforms, using the Polish NAVOICA platform as a case study. Scalability adapts a platform’s infrastructure to increasing numbers of users and courses. NAVOICA relies on container technologies, orchestration, microservice architecture, and cloud computing, which ensure its flexibility and security. This positions NAVOICA strongly to address the challenges of modern online education, such as the rising popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs), expanding user bases, and the increasingly widening array of courses.
