Cloud services for e-learning

Cloud computing is growing rapidly in almost every sector including education. Many educational institutions do not have the ability to maintain the resources and/or infrastructures required to run e-learning systems and are looking for cloud based solutions. This paper introduces the benefits and limitations of cloud based e-learning.
