“…The potential of cloud computing may include but is not limited to increasing service efficiency and cost-savings. An example from the University of California (UC) at Berkeley, found cloud computing to be attractive for use in one of their courses which was focused exclusively on developing and deploying SaaS applications (Alshwaier, 2012). The Medical College of Wisconsin Biotechnology and Bioengineering Centre in Milwaukee found the use of cloud computing in their research has provided an astounding computing power.…”

“…Vendor lock-in means that the university or institution using cloud services from one provider may find all data they store and apps they use are locked-in to the products of specific provider which implies risks and significant costs to migrate to another vendor or to revert to on-premises traditional IT systems (Alshwaier, 2012;Sultan, 2010).…”

Abstract:Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in enabling education services be delivered to users. Most education online services in universities have been run on the cloud to provide services to support students, lecturers, researchers and administration staff. These are enabled with the emergence of cloud computing in the world of IT. Cloud computing offers on demand Internet-based computing services. This paper presents an overview of cloud computing adoption in higher education, mainly tertiary institutions and universities. The focus of the paper is the challenges of cloud computing in higher education. It introduces the background to cloud computing and reviews research on adoption challenges in higher education institutions. These challenges are important as they provide an overview of the adoption of cloud in higher education. The authors proposed an integrated reference model based on the challenges in the literature integrated with TAM model to investigate the factors influence the users' attitudes and behaviours toward using cloud education services in universities ICT provision.

Today, exists an innovative thinking amongst the educators and learners in the use of e-learning method in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide. Be that as it may, the E-learning framework requires immense up-front infrastructure with many establishments which isn't anything but difficult to be overseen. Cloud computing accompanies another advancement stage to overcome e-learning issues in a simple and cost-proficient way that HEIs can embrace to improve the nature of their scholarly services toward the end with the thought of an instructive innovation of educational technology. The fundamental point of this explorative study is to develop a conceptual model to examine the factors laid down by Information technology (IT) adoption theory that influencing the E-Learning Based Cloud Computing (ELBCC) by integrating fit-viability theory with the diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory's factors. The findings of this study demonstrated that the used scale measurement has met the criteria of reliability and validity. Further this study conveyed an integrated model for investigating Cloud Computing adoption for E-Learning in HEIs in Omani context in the Sultanate of Oman, and it provides the foundation for coming studies due to its infancy, and deep insight for cloud computing development, this is a hypothetical commitment. Moreover, this study builds up an empirical mechanism to explore influencing adoption features for the Omani HEIs perspective. In Composing, this is the first kind of an empirical study in Omani HEIs setting. At long last, the outcome will help the Omani HEIs to make sense of their preparation for E-Learning
