Fit-Viability Approach for E-Learning Based Cloud Computing Adoption in Higher Education Institutions: A Conceptual Model

Abstract

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

Adoption of Cloud-Based E-Government Services: A Bibliometric Analysis and Research Agenda

“…The provision of on-demand computing resources, such as storage, servers, databases, servers, software, etc. over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis is referred to as cloud computing [1,2]. Cloud computing users can control these computing resources from anywhere at any time through an interface that facilitates its usage [3].…”
