dynamic scalability, cloud computing has continued to be adopted by more
organizations. Despite the looming financial crisis, there has been increasing
pressure for educational institutions to deliver better services using minimal
resources. Leaning institutions, both public and private can utilize the
potential advantage of cloud computing to ensure high quality service
regardless of the minimal resources available. Cloud computing is taking a
center stage in academia because of its various benefits. Various learning
institutions use different cloud-based applications provided by the service
providers to ensure that their students and other users can perform both
academic as well as business-related tasks. Thus, this research will seek to
establish the benefits associated with the use of cloud computing in learning
institutions. The solutions provided by the cloud technology ensure that the
research and development, as well as the teaching is more sustainable and
efficient, thus positively influencing the quality of learning and teaching
within educational institutions. This has led to various learning institutions
adopting cloud technology as a solution to various technological challenges
they face on a daily routine.
