“…Incorporation of this pedagogical strategy could offer new opportunities to enhance academic instruction and student learning experiences (Ouf, Nasr, & Helmy, 2010). For example, Facebook has the capacity to support course management activities, enhance the provision of information and resources to students, as well as engage and motivate students through interactivity and collaboration (Naidu, 2005).…”

Facebook is a popular platform that may facilitate learning activities at university. In this study, students' perceptions of using 'Facebook pages' within individual university subject offerings were evaluated. Individual 'Facebook pages' were developed for four university courses and used to provide information relevant to the courses and allow opportunities for student interaction. An initial questionnaire administered in the first lecture of semester indicated that nearly all students (n=161, 93.1%) possessed an active Facebook account. Most students (n=135, 78.0%) anticipated that a Facebook page would facilitate their learning, by increased interaction with students and instructors, and notifications for course information. A second questionnaire was completed in the final lecture of semester indicating that 81.9% of students engaged with the course Facebook page at some stage. However, perceptions of the effectiveness of the page as a learning tool were variable, with only 51% of students stating that it was effective. Despite this, the majority of students (n=110, 76.4%) recommended using Facebook in future courses. This preliminary evaluation of Facebook as a learning aid suggests that it has the potential to promote collaborative and cooperative learning, but further research is required, specifically to understand if and how it can enhance learning outcomes.

Collaborative e-learning based on several means of electronic communication mechanism specifically internet and web2.0 (such as forum, virtual classroom, videoconference, etc.) has become the current trend in e-learning systems. The cloud computing environment presents itself an important infrastructure for supporting these collaborative e-learning systems and for optimizing these service-based systems in a multi-tenant way. In this paper, we discuss the problem of discovering multi-tenant e-learning processes. For this, we propose an architecture for a configurable learning process discovery environment and the allocation of resources (Saas, Paas, Iaas) necessary for the execution of the corresponding learning activities.

“…Ideas created through the use and development of cloud-based distance learning methods can actually become technological solutions through the combination of older online learning methods with new cloud computing technology [3]. The migration of cloud technologies to the online learning sector is an effective way of creating an e-learning platform or solution in the cloud environment [10].…”

Advancements in technology, especially the availability of the Internet, have brought a revolutionary change in the education sector, increasing the scope of online education worldwide. Today distance education is vastly dependent on elearning portals. In addition, the cloud and virtualization technology have gained popularity. Many universities providing distance education are moving away from physical infrastructure to cloud computing due to its features and advantages. Cloud-based e-learning and distance education platforms are cost effective in comparison with other services. The aim of this paper is to propose a new cloud-based distance education model: Distance Education as a Service (DEaaS). Moreover, this paper aims to discuss how underprivileged students and children from underdeveloped countries can benefit from cloud-based distance education.
