Abstract

This paper presents the experience of a virtual student
named Peter concerning various cloud computing services offered by
the school where he is currently a freshman. The paper introduces and
compares the differences between the traditional Plato’s classroom
and today’s new classrooms powered by novel technologies. In the
foreword, we present the milestones of cloud computing in education
and research with particular attention focused on services currently
available at the faculty as seen from Peter’s perspective. The paper also
announces further system integration of several currently available
services and the intention to extend cloud services from faculty to
university level. Such ambitious shift should employ all the benefits,
and at the same time overcome many challenges originating from
the different aspects of cloud services. Therefore, it is crucial to
standardise education in line with many everyday activities.
