“…Bai, Shen, Chen, and Zhuo () indicate that shifting from a content‐centred to a learner‐centred model is one of the key benefits of employing the cloud model in education. Efforts are being made to address the problem of the digital exclusion of remote educational facilities by providing access to cloud infrastructure (Ezenwoke, Omoregbe, Ayo, & Sanjay, ). Additional benefits of applying cloud computing for education, as enumerated in multiple papers (Alabbadi, ; Boja, Pocatilu, & Toma, ), include: reduced costs of both hardware and software; reduced costs of maintenance and upgrades; reduced launching time; high performance, better availability, scalability and accessibility; and simplified collaboration and resource sharing. …”

In this paper, we address the problem of an educational gap existing between high schools and universities: many students consider their choice of field of study as inappropriate, mostly due to insufficient information regarding the discipline and the university educational process. To solve this problem, we define an innovative, information and communication technologysupported educational process enabling various ways of collaboration between high schools and universities. The goal of that process is to increase the knowledge of prospective students regarding the next level of their education. We propose an environment for the implementation of the educational process. The concepts have been verified in practise as part of the Małopolska Educational Cloud project across several disciplines. We discuss the achievements of the pilot phase of the project as well as its reception by educators and students. Based on evaluation reports and opinions from both educators and students, we claim that the proposed model for information and communication technology-supported collaboration between high schools and universities can effectively reduce the educational gap.

Cloud computing as a new paradigm has grown from a promising idea to one of the fastest research and development paradigm in education sector. It is a hot research area that applies in all sectors where we require high performance and fast access to resources and services. Cloud computing usability in education is wide-ranging, as acknowledged by many educational institutions around the world. This paper attempts to address the need for utilizing cloud computing in higher education in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for all the disciplines to raise its level and solve the obstacles that faced the learning process. In addition, cloud computing facilitates educators and students to be more experienced in cloud computing and it prepares them to get benefits of usefulness to become more motivated and effective. Survey is used as a research design to validate the proposed solution. The results show that the proposal to improve higher education is highly supported by the professionals working in the industry and academia.

Cloud computing paradigm has been recognized recently as key enabling efficient and effective technological services that will reshape the delivery and support of the educational services. In this paper, we review the literature on cloud computing adoption by Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) that were published during the period 2009 -2014. The motivation was to identify the main frameworks, models and architectures that were proposed for establishing cloud computing services inside HEIs. Furthermore, the review researched standard definitions and main characteristics, offered services and delivered models of cloud computing technology. It identified 133 papers that were published during the last six years and were focused on cloud computing adoption frameworks, models and architectures for HEIs. The review also provides a landscape of the research in this area and draws attention for more investigation in this field towards developing a comprehensive unified framework for the adoption of cloud computing services in HEIs.
