Implementation framework for cloud based education-as-a-service

The cavity between education sector and IT sector is growing at a fast pace, the problem of IT and Education being out of sync is further exacerbated by other issues related to Educational Institutes like paucity of resources, overhead of managing on-premise infrastructure and supine nature of processes involved which gradually affects the prowess of the student to gain effective knowledge. Incorporating Cloud computing in the educational sector can significantly help the institutes to achieve much needed dynamics. The paper proposes a framework “Education Cloud” which incorporates the flexibility of cloud and provides institutes with a Single Point of Contact to blend the power of Cloud computing in their educational framework and manage to provide more pragmatic approach towards education.
