Towards a Cloud-Based Data Storage Medium for E-learning Systems in Developing Countries

The focus of this study is to propose a cloud computing data storage model for E-Learning systems in developing countries. Cloud computing is an information technology platform that refers to services which provide data storage, collaboration and software execution hosting services via the Internet. Cloud computing is a technology trend that has a significant impact on the teaching and learning environment. The idea behind this research work therefore is to enhance the storage capacity and utilize resources of E-learning system for universities in developing countries. This platform incorporates cloud data storage medium to accommodate/store all educational content/files on the E-learning system.
