I am looking into the impact that cloud computing has had in the field of education.
Not only in Education,Cloud has transformed almost all the sectors. Cloud gives an excellent opportunity to students to avail all the computation requirements for their studies. I am very much interested in doing a research in Cloud for Education. Looking for research scholars to join hands with me to do a quality research.
For small, medium and upcoming schools, universities, and community colleges either there are no infrastructure available initially or it is too expensive or wasteful to procure such a massive infrastructure if such a need is seldom, is for learning purposes that are not going to provide guaranteed economic returns. Cloud computing is a very important low cost entry to education market for many small, medium and upcoming educational institutions, due to the pay as you use pricing framework, and delegation of resource and computing tasks to remote cloud data centers. Hence if today, I want to open a community college, if need not worry about buying strong supercomputers, databases, servers, and physical support staff for them, for my computing, record keeping and other cyber-dependent tasks etc. I can just delegate them to the cloud, which provide results back to cheap thin clients at your college. Thus there is reduced investment, hence I can charge my students less for their fees, if I want to keep my profits constant. During vacations, nothing is used, so no pay is required, during end semester you can have more traffic and then you more as you use. As you could see there is a tremendous benefit for students, colleges and university administration. Cloud Computing is a very low cost entry to accessing large scale infrastructure for imparting effective computer science education and experiments that need to test big data, massive parallel algorithms etc. The students could also benefit by lesser fees, because of reduced investment and maintenance of in house cyber infrastructure
