Cloud computing represents a major shift in the way we develop and deploy systems and services. In the educational sphere it provides the technical underpinning for the MOOC phenomenon, the incorporation of social media into curricula, and has accelerated the use of online learning resources in a variety of contexts. What benefits and risks are there for education in the cloud? What are the economics and limitations of adapting a cloud-based approach? What research is needed to better understand the potential and possibilities? In this workshop, we invite submissions that show research, novelty, insight or experience in the use of the cloud for educational purposes. Your research should highlight how a cloud-based approach can or could enable novel learning opportunities and overcome challenges and barriers in conventional approaches.
We welcome researchers and practitioners to submit pedagogic and technical papers which are related to (but not limited to) the following topics:
· MOOC experiences as technologists, designers, providers, learners
· Economics of cloud computing with reference to educational use
· Use of cloud-based platforms such as Dropbox, SoundCloud, Facebook, Google Docs, Wordpress, Office 365 etc. in education
· Accessibility of Cloud-based education
· Novel learning environments enabled by the cloud
· Cloud support for mobile learning
· Cloud-based learning platforms
· Cloud-based assured information sharing
· Learning analytics in the cloud
· Cloud computing support for collaboration in the education sector
· Privacy and security issues of using cloud computing in education
· Risks and compliance issues of using cloud computing in the educational sector
· Identity and access management of cloud computing in educational sector
