Utilization of cloud computing in E-learning systems

Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the most discussed solutions on the education prospect. Cloud computing is growing rapidly, with applications in almost any area, including education. E-learning systems usually require many hardware and software resources. The popularity of learning on the internet, the creation of perfect web-based learning environment has become one of the hot points on researching remote education. It is predicted that, in the near future, cloud computing will have a significant impact on the educational and learning environment, facilitating their own users(i.e., learners, instructors, and administrators) to perform their tasks effectively with less cost by utilizing the available cloud-based applications offered by the cloud service providers. This paper discusses the employability of cloud computing in the educational and learning ring, to be called “Teaching and Learning as a Service” (TLaaS), emphasizing its possible benefits and offerings.
