Cloud computing

What is cloud computing?

Computing on the cloud?

“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous,

convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of
configurable computing resources that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.”
Features of cloud computing

On-demand Computing Model

Organizations are no longer required to own their
datacenters to cover their IT needs.

Inexpensive
Savings results from the fact that resources
owned by providers are shared among several
clients Scalable
Clients are not limited with fixed amounts of resources.
Rather, they can scale up or down their usage
according to fluctuating needs.

Subscription-based
Clients subscribe to services they are interested in, and
they are billed according to use.
Cloud computing in education

Cloud computing applications in the field of

education and training

Massive open online courses (MOOCs)

Traditional education:
 Students as passive targets
 Credit driven
 High tuitions
 Information asymmetry
 Fixed time and location
