Cloud Computing Technology Model for Teaching and Learning of ICT

This chapter describes an economical and scalable open source cloud computing technology suitable for a university environment where the need is to simultaneously serve a diverse spectrum of educational and research missions. In particular, this chapter reviews a cloud computing technology called Virtual Computing Lab (VCL, http://vcl.ncsu.edu). This open source technology was originally designed and built at North Carolina State University (NCSU), and its seamlessly supports both the electronic teaching and learning needs of the university as well as a robust environment for faculty high performance computing research needs. Extensive data from the NCSU VCL production system show the economic scalability of the solutions. The authors discuss economic viability of the solution and the trade-off analysis that needs to be done to understand how much of the equipment, virtualization, and workload balancing among on-demand and background workloads need to happen.

Cloud Computing Adoption

Purpose This paper aims to provide a literature review on the cloud-based platforms for the education sectors. The several aspects of cloud computing adoption in education, remote/distance learning and the application of cloud-based design and manufacturing (CBDM) have been studied and theorised. Design/methodology/approach A four-step methodology was adopted to analyse and categorise the papers obtained through various search engines. Out of 429 research articles, 72 papers were shortlisted for the detailed analysis. Findings Many factors that influence cloud computing technology adoption in the education sector have been identified in this paper. The research findings on several research items have been tabulated and discussed. Based on the theoretical research done on cloud computing for education, cloud computing for remote/distance learning and CBDM, cloud computing could enhance the educational systems in mainly developing countries and improve the scope for remote/distance learning. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to papers published only in the past decade from 2011 to 2020. Besides, this review was unable to include journal articles published in different languages. Nevertheless, for the effective teaching and learning process, this paper could help understand the importance and improve the process of adopting cloud computing concepts in educational universities and platforms. Originality/value This study is a novel one as a research review constituting cloud computing applications in education and extended for remote/distance learning and CBDM, which have not been studied in the existing knowledge base.
