Abstract :
Cyber education is an emerged term for the new approach of teaching and learning. It is a general term for e-learning and refers to web based learning. Various technologies have been applied in order to support and enrich the usage of e-learning. Recently, research has focused on building collaborative and interactive e-learning systems. Cloud computing is increasingly providing the underlying technology that supports, and hosts such systems. This paper provides a review of some proposed cloud-based e-learning initiatives along with the expected benefits and challenges. Based on the review, a future vision of e-learning is given.
