Abstract
This paper aims at developing a conceptual model for homeschooling education at a high-school level by using cloud computing technologies. Specifically, a data flow model was developed to show how cloud computing can be adopted in home-schooling education. Then, a set of usability solution items were derived based on breaking down each flow in the data flow model. The findings from this paper will be helpful to system developers and education system decision makers when making decisions on homeschooling systems development.
