Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged in recent times as a disruptive technology that has favourably influenced the functioning of many businesses, organizations, and institutions. The utilisation and prevalence of cloud computing arise from an on-demand model that provides computing services via the internet. Several academic institutions have incorporated cloud computing into the educational process to enhance pedagogical outcomes. The review aims to examine cloud computing in education and the need for educational institutions to comprehend its primary advantages. In this review, we discussed the architectural integrations of cloud computing services in education, encompassing Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) models. The outcome of this study includes a visual representation of the educational trends in cloud computing, the impact of cloud educational technologies, and the major challenges facing its adoption. This review will augment literature on cloud computing, its application in educational institutions, and anticipated challenges.
