Abstract

Cloud Computing has become the dominant technology to offer unlimited computing for various social and commercial applications. Cloud computing is also being adopted at the rapid pace for E-Learning. This paper has illustrated upon the phenomenon of Cloud based E-Learning adoption in the institutes of universities and institutes of higher education. Critical success factors for the effective implementing of Cloud Based E-Learning have been identified through systematic literature review using framework of Denyer and Tranfield (2009). Further they are clustered into four dimensions namely cloud service resilience, university technological maturity, university organizational readiness and Cloud Based E-Learning imperatives. The results of this research will be helpful for policymakers and practitioners of E-Learning in implementing Cloud Based E-Learning Platform.

Highlights

The quick growth in the infrastructure of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has enhanced the area of usage & quality in information technology (IT) applications, a massive development of Interactive web-based apps are going on in each field [1]. e-Learning has no exception, due to its vast range capacity as learning model with a lot of facility for knowledge distribution from any place, anytime to anyone, it has grown up into a widely accepted tool for the successful teaching and learning [2]
Many universities and institutes of higher education have adopted online-Learning in their teaching and learning modules, and this development continues for lifelong learning models as well [2]

Summary

Introduction

The quick growth in the infrastructure of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has enhanced the area of usage & quality in information technology (IT) applications, a massive development of Interactive web-based apps are going on in each field [1]. e-Learning has no exception, due to its vast range capacity as learning model with a lot of facility for knowledge distribution from any place, anytime to anyone, it has grown up into a widely accepted tool for the successful teaching and learning [2]. The requirement of such applications is different in different geographical locations, depending upon requirement of educational institutes for new technology and support, population and financial status and condition of IT services of that location [3]. Smaller size institutes lack financial resources to utilize full use of IT, but Cloud computing offers them the availability of quality education, in underserved and distant communities. It can allow interactive and vibrant learning experiences by enabling Students and Instructors of different geographical locations to communicate and team up for exploring new learning methods [3].
