School On The Cloud Project Aims
SoC considers answers to three key questions:• What is the impact of the Cloud on education
stakeholders? (policy, teaching practices, and facilitating individualized learning processes)
• How should education respond to the potential of the Cloud?
• What might the situation be like in the future?
![Page 8: Education on the Cloud](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ecfff21a28ab7d5c8b4745/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
School On The Cloud Project Tasks
• Research the “state-of-the-art”• Establish methods and means for network members to share
their findings and expertise• Produce a series of core publications on the exploitation of
Cloud in different educational contexts• Develop guidance resources• Disseminate outputs within and beyond the confines of the
network, and • Establish links with other European-wide or nation-wide
initiatives.

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

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: Why should the Cloud be used in education? (n=57)
Easy access.Stability.Security.
Shareability.Trackability.
Collaboration.No more photocopying
Chances of losing content are quite small.

SoC: State of the art• Partners could not define what the Cloud was• They were not aware of all Cloud Computing
characteristics • They confused reality with perception in
characteristics• They used the Cloud themselves• But not within their organisations
![Page 13: Education on the Cloud](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ecfff21a28ab7d5c8b4745/html5/thumbnails/13.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

State of the art: PolicyCloud Policy And Action• Huge variation between countries – from
digital and Cloud Strategies, to Public Cloud developments, to nothing
• European policy is focused on economic development and sustained growth in Europe
• Cloud Computing can be a key driver for innovation and transformation

Conclusions:• Cloud Computing is being used as a delivery
method for IT services• wide range of customised solutions and
individual / collective actions • piecemeal rather than coordinated• some teachers and learners are enjoying
education benefits

Some conclusions (Panoutsopoulos et al, 2015)
• Paradigm shift (fundamental change in methods of delivering education) (Koutsopoulos & Kotsanis, 2014)
• Vision = Cloud-based learner-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 formed to explore how education should respond
Learn from:• available Cloud technologies • existing Cloud-based educational initiatives • network expertise and experiences
To provide guidance and support to stakeholders

• Seeking links with other research initiatives• Stimulation of further projects, 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
