This study
aims to build a comprehensive knowledge around reflecting the role and
contribution of the cloud computing to the educational and learning processes
in Jordan represented by the Ministry of Education (MoE). Through the features,
concepts, benefits, and applicability of the educational and learning
processes; an applied study in the MoE in Jordan was conducted to present
learned lessons. Researches and studies have defined cloud computing as a
collection of connected servers, which are centrally managed through local area
networks or via the Internet. The cloud computing in today's world is a
methodology that helps the educational process achieving its goals, enables the
educational institution to save and analyze information based on its growing
development, provide the staff of educational institutions with sufficient and
backup information, and having the possibility of storing and exchanging
information. Anytime, anywhere, and without the need of local computer power
(to store, process, share and transmit information) cloud computing is a new
model of consumption of IT services and a way of connecting these services to
help the decision makers.
This study
aims to show how to employ cloud computing in the educational and learning
process in the MoE in Jordan. The study goal is to reduce time, effort, money
and cost, as well as enabling it to access data or information more quickly to
achieve the specific objectives of educational and learning courses. It was
made out clear here that cloud computing is one of the objectives of reducing
the cost of educational work significantly, and emphasizes professional
management of infrastructure. Therefore, it reflects on the overall performance
of the educational institution and its performance development, and extends to
our study and recommendations. proposed, and it is based on our relationship to
the study and the proposed recommendations. All educational and learning
measures in cloud computing are accomplished through external servers available
on the Internet, while ensuring the security of information about the means of
education, and keeping them from interfering and abusing viruses or hackers
(hackers). The development of societies and nations is only done by the
development of the education sector. If education succeeds, human resources
(which form the backbone of any country) will succeed too, and the country will
develop more as a result. Therefore, the educational renaissance has always
relied on new methodologies (such as cloud computing, distance learning, data
mining among many other technologies) to develop their economies, which are the
main pillars of the prosperity and progress of the countries
Some
developed countries are racing in the technology and information sector to
provide electronic services in the private and government sectors. Because the
education sector is very important and areas of life has taken up a great deal
of interest required for these countries in keeping up with developments and
the revolution of information, technology and computerization such as cloud
computing in the learning process. Communications and information technology
systems have adopted their applications, such as the use of computers, software
and the Internet, including most of the activities and areas practiced by
individuals and institutions in the society. Because they achieve two important
functions: expanding and speeding up access to any information, whether
readable, audio or written, and its ability to become an active tool for the
development of individuals' skills and mental and cognitive abilities
E-learning
(or distance learning) is one of the modern teaching methods in communicating
information to the learner regardless of location and time factors. Modern
communication mechanisms are used in the delivery of information to the learner
within the shortest time, less effort and greater benefit and in a way that
enables the management of learning process, and control, evaluate and measure
the performance of learners. Cloud computing is characterized by modern
technologies that enable enhancing and improving the required services and
contributing to the desired goals
