Abstract

Cloud computing has been regarded as one of the significant Information Technology (IT) tools. Many sectors are adopting cloud computing services for its business support. It has also become a new IT paradigm that has transformed the E-Learning system to become more user-friendly. As a result, the E-Learning usage is growing rapidly and being preferred over the conventional teaching-learning process in a big way. This revolutionary change is attributed to the advancement in digital technology. The transformation in digital technology has made the teaching-learning process flexible, easy and convenient for effective knowledge transfer. The cloud-based E-Learning process depends upon many factors of different dimensions that are of significant importance for cloud-based-E-Learning success. Hence they must be studied to successfully analyze their level of importance and fulfill Cloud-based E-Learning positive effectiveness. The current research provides a detailed literature review for cloud-based E-Learning Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of teaching–learning process. Further, the research employs the combinatorial approach to evaluate the diversified dimensions and CSFs of cloud-based E-Learning that helps in quantifying and comparing the influence of various dimensions and CSFs of cloud-based-E-Learning. Four dimensions and fourteen factors have been identified through in-depth literature review and later on evaluated for the prioritization using a combinatorial approach. The influence of such dimensions and factors will help various stakeholders to plan their strategy and resources for the betterment of knowledge transfer through cloud-based-E-Learning.

Highlights

  • Cloud computing has witnessed rapid growth and influenced the human lifestyle tremendously through Information Technology (IT)

  • The combinatorial approach of Analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-group decision making (GDM) and FAHP may be used in deriving the weights and ranking

  • Comparison of weights of cloud-based E-Learning using AHP-GDM and FAHP may be useful in understanding the importance of each critical success factors (CSFs)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Cloud computing has witnessed rapid growth and influenced the human lifestyle tremendously through IT. Naveed et al.: Evaluating and Ranking Cloud-Based E-Learning CSFs Using Combinatorial Approach used on the world wide web for educational purposes [3]. It provides easy access to new information as well as freedom from the constraints of place and time It accommodates the need for an increased number of students with potential interactivity and flexibility in exchanging written documents/assignments. It provides cutting-edge communication skills in technical learning education and information culture [11]. The paper is structured as follows: section II documents a detailed review of literature, while section III provides the role of CSFs of cloud-based E-Learning.
