Abstract
With the growing number of its students, Virtual University of Senegal is often faced with a lack of quality of service during synchronous learning activities. Thus, the University has set itself the challenge of reinforcing its technological device to make it even more robust in order to support the increasing number of students with a more powerful infrastructure. In this perspective, we have, in this paper, proposed an online teaching platform based on fog computing. Thus, we have proposed an optimal placement of educational resources at the fog layer nodes in order to relieve the backbone network and, consequently, reduce the response time of students’ requests during synchronous activities, which are very sensitive to delay.
