| Title | The Evolving Role of Cloud Computing in Education: Innovations, Challenges, and Future |
| Research Area | Cloud Computing |
| Abstract | Cloud computing has rapidly transformed educational systems worldwide by enabling scalable digital infrastructure, supporting remote learning, and enabling advanced learning analytics. This review synthesizes literature from 2020–2025 to examine architectures and service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), the role of cloud during the COVID-19 era, pedagogical and administrative benefits, technical and policy challenges (security, privacy, data governance), equity considerations, and future trajectories (AI integration, edge/hybrid clouds, immersive learning). Findings suggest cloud technologies substantially improved continuity and innovation in education but introduced significant data-protection, governance, and inclusion challenges that must be addressed through technical controls, policy, and capacity building. Recommendations for practitioners and researchers conclude the paper. |
