Abstract
Cloud computing has been the disrupting factor in many industries, and education is no exception either. This paper aims to reflect on the multiple implications of cloud computing for educational institutions, discussing all its merits and demerits. Following an exhaustive literature review that compares and contrasts the most widely available cloud-based educational tools, this new discipline traces dominant trends and strategies. The study shows how cloud computing would make education more accessible and effective in addressing some of the challenges it presents: specifically, issues with data security and data privacy. Besides that, the paper shows how cloud technologies influence pedagogical approaches and how information is presented and acquired in newer learning environments. The paper aims to contribute to discourses ongoing within this area of adopting cloud computing in education and the long-term impacts of this trend on the academic sector.
