Cloud Computing in the Higher Education Sector

A twodimensional research model was proposed by Talal H , including
inhibitors and motivators to measure the extended use of cloud computing
adoptionintheKingdomofSaudiArabia Anextensivestatisticalanalysiswas

to evaluate the efficiency of cloud computing in the provision of e learning
materials Onthatpoint,foreache learningprojectthatisusingcloudtechnology,
it is very dependent on the type of model used either SaaS or PaaS, IaaS In
addition, the cost of the project and risk management also influences the success
of the e learning project based on cloud technology Meanwhile, in Jordan,
BaniSalameh and Somia carried on the empirical investigationtoproposeane
learning model that consists of nineteen critical success factors classified into five
dimensions The five dimensions are human genes, interaction, courses,
environment, and feedback The results were as expected positive for all
hypotheses in their study such a result might be attributed to the reason that most
of the e learning projects are not managed by specialized technicians; where

and Ismail have talked regarding the benefits and challenges in adopting cloud
technologies into the higher education system in Malaysia They found this
technology provides a lot of benefits to higher education institutions, especially in
the chasing world education ranking But at the same time, cloud computing
technology is also facing challenges such as security and privacy issues, lack of
expertise, and the problem of internet speeds in some areas However, this
technology is seen to have huge potentialities because of its ability to solve
problems such as lower cost, information sharing, access, and manage them more
easily Badie, Che Hussin & M Dahlan constitute the major reasons thathave
