Cloud-Based E-learning: Scaffolding the Environment for Adaptive E-learning Ecosystem Based on Cloud Computing Infrastructure

Abstract

The article discusses the top five e-learning technologies that have the potential for substantial growth in the coming years as a result of the growing student population. The current study analyses in brief the efficacy of e-learning services in the classroom and how cloud computing will play a significant role in future of education. While incorporating cloud computing into e-learning services has many advantages, there are certain risks and challenges to consider, including cost, bandwidth, security, user concept, forms, and methods, as well as management duties and resources. Due to the virtualisation of these resources, educational businesses, students, and institutions may also lease them. Cloud computing’s autonomous, cost-effective, flexible, and reliable infrastructure enables the creation of an e-learning ecosystem. Cloud-based e-learning systems are much faster, cheaper, and more efficient than on-premises e-learning systems and are considerably safer. Author examined several contemporary technologies and weighed their benefits and drawbacks in this article, concluding that some platforms are there to stay, while others may perish because of its operational difficulty.
