Abstract
Cloud computing is the latest and rapidly growing technology that has brought new changes and opportunities in the field of education and IT industries. Consequently, e-learning emphasizes more on technology to transform and provide training and education to learners. E-learning system using cloud computing platform introduces efficient and effective learning mechanism. In this paper, we briefly discuss the effectiveness of cloud-based e-learning along with its issues, challenges, and benefits. The analysis suggests that the cloud computing platform for e-learning is quite feasible and effective that brings greater clarity landscape anent to cloud computing assistances. Study of several cloud-based e-learning tools has been done on the basis of scalability, types of services, shareable content object reference model (SCORM), prices, usability, etc. Some e-learning trends of 2017 have been presented in last.
