Abstract

Cloud computing is growing rapidly, with applications in almost any area, including education. E-learning systems usually require many hardware and software resources. There are many educational institutions that cannot afford such investments, and cloud computing is the best solution. This paper presents the positive impact of using cloud computing architectures upon e-learning solutions development. It focuses on the benefits of cloud computing for e-learning solutions and the e-learning project management challenges when this architecture is used.
