Currently, online learning systems in the education sector are widely used and have become a new trend, generating large amounts of educational data based on students' activities. In order to improve online learning experiences, sophisticated data analysis techniques are required. Adding value to E-learning platforms through the efficient processing of big learning data is possible with Big Data. With time, the E-learning management system's repository expands and becomes a rich source of learning materials. Subject matter experts may benefit from using E-learning resources to reuse previously created content when creating online content. In addition, it might be beneficial to the students by giving them access to the pertinent documents for achieving their learning objectives effectively. An improved intelligent information retrieval and reliable storage (OIIRS) scheme is proposed for E-learning using hybrid deep learning techniques. Assume that relevant E-learning documents are stored in cloud and dynamically updated according to users' status. First, we present a highly robust and lightweight crypto i.e. optimized CLEFIA, for securely storing data in local repositories that improve the reliability of data loading. We develop an improved butterfly optimization (IBO) algorithm to provide an optimal solution for CLEFIA that selects private keys. In addition, a hybrid deep learning method, i.e., backward diagonal search based deep recurrent neural network (BD-DRNN) is introduced for optimal intelligent information retrieval based on keywords rather than semantics. Here, feature extraction and key feature matching are performed by the modified Hungarian optimization (MHO) algorithm that improves searching accuracy. Finally, we test our proposed OIIRS scheme with different benchmark datasets and use simulation results to test the performance.
