Paper Aims
• to provide a detailed account of the activities of the European School on the Cloud network (http://www.schoolonthecloud.eu/)
• to focus on issues regarding the methodology through which network members research the potential of the Cloud to facilitate student-centered, personalized learning

Key Questions
• How should formal education establishments respond to Cloud Computing developments?
• What is the impact of available Cloud Computing technologies on exercising educational policy, teaching practices, and on facilitating individualized learning processes?

School On The Cloud Project Aims
SoC will consider answers to three key questions:• What is the impact of the Cloud on education
stakeholders?• How should education respond to the
potential of Cloud-based tools and technologies?
• What might the situation be like in the future?
![Page 16: Education on the Cloud: Researching Student-Centred Cloud-Based Learning Prospects in the Context of a European Network](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070523/58ecffe41a28aba0608b46a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SoC: Four Working Groups
WG 1 Lead/manage the Cloud: transition
WG 2 i(nnovative) Teacher
WG 3 Learner focus: personalisation
WG 4 Future scenarios for education?

State of the art survey
Cloud Policy And Action• Huge variation between countries – from
digital and Cloud Strategies, to Public Cloud developments, to nothing
Promoting the Cloud in Education• Many actors – from national and regional
government to private companies and NGOs

State of the art survey
Using the Cloud• Lots of isolated initiatives • Some national and regional developments eg N. Ireland,
Italy, Romania• Some countries lagging a long way behindOther information• Many research groups, publications • Higher education is very active• Lots of events about education and the Cloud

SoC: State of the art• Partners could not define what the Cloud was• They were not aware of all Cloud Computing
characteristics (4/57)• They confused reality with perception in
characteristics• They used the Cloud themselves• But not within their organisations
![Page 36: Education on the Cloud: Researching Student-Centred Cloud-Based Learning Prospects in the Context of a European Network](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070523/58ecffe41a28aba0608b46a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
State of the art / User needs
On the other hand, Cloud computing promises to: • improve the efficiency of education
organizations • optimize the technology-enhanced
learning experiences in an affordable way

Future Perspectives (Panoutsopoulos et al, 2015)
• Paradigm shift (fundamental change in methods of delivering education) (Koutsopoulos & Kotsanis, 2014)
• Vision = a Cloud-based pupil-centred approach• Link use of services and tools to individual
learners – specified by instructional strategies• Exploit powerful services like video-on-
demand and simulations (Gonzalez-Martinez et al., 2015)

• Facilitate inquiry-based learning in social contexts (Denton, 2012)
• Share, access data for anytime anyplace learning (Abrams, 2012)
• Quality learning experiences (Silva & Donert, 2015)
• Teachers create, edit, share innovative learning scenarios, with the use of media-rich content

• School on the Cloud network was formed to explore how education should respond to developments
Learn from:• available Cloud technologies • existing Cloud-based educational initiatives • network expertise and experiencesTo provide guidance and support to stakeholders

• Seeking links with other research initiatives• Stimulation of further research, such as: (i) evaluate future education scenarios on the Cloud(ii) design, application, and evaluation of context-
specific Cloud-based educational solutions that span across all levels of education, and
(iii) develop and test Cloud-based services and tools able to cater for special educational needs
