Abstract

As with rapid growth of the cloud computing architecture usage, more and more industries move their focus from investing into processing power to renting processing power from a specialized vendor. Education field is no different. E-learning systems usually require many hardware and software resources. There are numerous educational institutions that cannot afford such investments, and cloud computing is the best solution for them. The implementation of a cloud computing e-learning system has its peculiarities and needs a specific approach. This paper measures the positive impact of using cloud computing architectures upon e-learning solutions development. We advance a set of cloud computing efficiency metrics for enhanced e-learning implementation process control. Also, the long term overall efficiency of the cloud computing usage in the field of e-learning system is evaluated.
