“…The constriction was based on three phases. Based on the review of the existing literature, in phase 1: different cloud deployment related challenges in higher education settings globally and in Saudi Arabia context were identified from several researches, a review these challenges are presented in Alharthi et al (2015). Afterwards, the challenges were redefined as CSFs, which will enable cloud migration in higher education.…”

“…For example, according to Alshwaier 2012 [2], the University of California at Berkeley was focused on deploying SaaS applications in one of its courses. Moreover, the Medical College of Wisconsin Biotechnology and Bioengineering Center in the United States found that the usage of CC is very beneficial and provides them with a huge computational power by renting Google's cloud servers [28]. Moreover, some HEIs have adopted CC for economic reasons.…”

Abstract-The advent of cloud computing (CC) in recent years has attracted substantial interest from various institutions, especially higher education institutions, which wish to consider the advantages of its features. Many universities have migrated from traditional forms of teaching to electronic learning services, and they rely upon information and communication technology services. The usage of CC in educational environments provides many benefits, such as low-cost services for academics and students. The expanded use of CC comes with significant adoption challenges. Understanding the position of higher education institutions with respect to CC adoption is an essential research area. This paper investigated the current state of CC adoption in the higher education sector in order to enrich the research in this area of interest. Existing limitations and knowledge gaps in current empirical studies are identified. Moreover, suggested areas for further researches will be highlighted for the benefit of other researchers who are interesting in this topic. These researches encourage institutions of education especially in higher education to adopted cloud computing technology.

“…The authors in [15] paper reviewed the literature on challenges of adoption cloud computing in institutions and universities. The authors proposed an integrated reference model based on the challenges in the literature integrated with Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate the factors influence the users' attitudes and behaviours toward using cloud education services in universities.…”

Cloud computing brings for higher educational institution a wide range of benefits with new capabilities to incorporate in the educational process. However, the cloud services are vulnerable to a variety of security challenges.One of the key challenges that educational institutions face in adopting cloud computing technologies is a provisioning of a secure cloud infrastructure.In this paper, the authors discover some cloud benefits in the education sector and discuss limitations of main cloud services as well as highlight security challenges that institutions face when utilizing cloud technologies.The survey was conducted in variety educational institutions to study the views of stakeholders on the cloud security vulnerabilities and approaches used to overcome.Finally, this paper provides baseline recommendations to avoid security risks efficiently when adopting cloud computing in institutions of higher education.
