Abstract

E-learning is the use of computer, electronic device, mobile and communication devices in some way to provide training, just-in-time-information, guidance from experts, and educational or learning material among learners. E-learning facilitates and enables learners to learn anytime and anywhere. E-learning systems usually require many hardware and software resources to electronically transfer skills and knowledge. Many education institutions do not have the resources and infrastructure needed to run top e-learning solutions and cloud computing is the best solution. Cloud computing is growing rapidly in almost every sector including education and learning process with its promising infrastructure, platform and applications. In this paper the author studied and analyzed the challenges and scopes of cloud computing environment that will be helpful to build a reliable, cost effective and scalable education system, namely e-learning as a service. In this paper the author has proposed a fundamental and unified cloud computing model which is obliging both for vendors, clients, users, professionals, academicians, and researchers involved in development and enlargement of cloud computing services and solutions in education system.
