| dc.description | Today education has become associated with information and technology in its delivery of content. Cloud computing provide solution of computing based on the internet where it allows sharing of resources, software and information to computers on demand like the electricity grid. Cloud computing is a recent concept that has come about from virtualization and grid computing. Both public and private organizations have adopted the cloud computing concept recently but there are concerns which have been raised regarding adoption and use of public cloud solution. Thus private cloud solutions are being taken into consideration as an alternative to a companies and institutions of higher learning. In majority of the Universities the infrastructure is either underutilized or over-utilized and thus the need for elastic technology adoption. The new technologies should be taken into consideration for project based learning and virtualization and this is why this is why the current study proposed an infrastructure for the higher institutions of learning in Kenya through embrace of cloud technology. The infrastructure model will be based on users, staff and students and their devices. The learning institutions will benefit by reducing the cost of IT staff from maintenance, reduce the updating of software and also cut the costs of software support. The learners demand for new software technology can be met with ease and lower costs and also sharing of information. The functions available for a user through cloud service is sufficient for every user needs. Virtual open source system will give the Universities and colleges, researchers and learners use with less efforts. The study results will play key role in informing the stakeholders on the benefits or prospects of using cloud computing to solve the e-learning sustainability problems that have plagued the implementation of the e-learning especially in the institutions found in rural area. | |
