PurposeThe paper focuses on reviewing and theorizing the factors that affect the adoption of cloud computing in the education sector narrowing the focus to developing countries such as India.Design/methodology/approachThrough an extensive literature survey, critical factors of cloud computing for education were identified. Further, the fuzzy DEMATEL approach was used to define their interrelationship and its cause and effect.FindingsA total of 17 factors were identified for the study based on the literature survey and experts' input. These factors were classified as causes and effects and ranked and interrelated. “Required Learning Skills and Attitude,” “Lack of Infrastructure,” “Learners' Ability” and “Increased Investment” are found to be the most influential factors.Practical implicationsThe resultant ranking factors can be used as a basis for managing the process of cloud adoption in several institutions. The study could guide academicians, policymakers and government authorities for the effective adoption of cloud computing in education.Originality/valueThe study investigates interdependency amongst the factors of cloud computing for education in context with developing economy. This is one of first study in higher education institutes of India.

Metaverse has evolved as one of the popular research agendas that let the users learn, socialize, and collaborate in a networked 3D immersive virtual world. Due to the rich multimedia streaming capability and immersive user experience with high-speed communication, the metaverse is an ideal model for education, training, and skill development tasks. To facilitate research in this area, we provide a comprehensive review of the various educational use cases and explore how enabling technologies such as Extended reality (XR) and Internet of Everything (IoE) will play a major role in educational services in future metaverses. Secondly, we provide an overview of metaverse-based educational applications focusing on education, training, and skill development and analyze the technologies they are built upon. We identify common research problems and future research directions in the domain. The paper also identifies core ethical considerations of metaverse for education and potential pitfalls. We believe this survey can fully demonstrate the versatility of metaverse-driven education, which could serve as a potential guideline for the researchers.

Lately, gamification (i.e., employing game-design elements and game principles in nongame contexts) has gained massive popularity and widespread usage in various areas, including education. However, gamification deployment in education in general and remote education in particular still faces many challenges that mainly influence user quality of experience. These challenges include lack of dedicated communication-based systems, potential additional load on teachers, absence of customization and personalization for users, and no support for advanced technology-enhanced learning (TEL). This paper investigates the use of gamification for networked delivery of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. It proposes an innovative gamification framework, the NEWTONenhanced gamification model (N-EGM), which was designed as part of the European Horizon 2020 project NEWTON. The paper also describes the proposed N-EGM model deployment in the gamification engine of a real learning management system and its associated communication and networking solution. The communication support provides easy-to-use gamification configuration functionality and efficient data collection and processing in a heterogeneous technology context. Finally, the paper evaluates the proposed N-EGM model as part of a NEWTON project pilot deployed in a Romanian school. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed gamification solution in improving both students' learning experience and their engagement, while also increasing student knowledge gain.
