| Abstract |
Abstract:<br/>As technology continues to evolve rapidly, the integration of cloud computing holds significant<br/>promise in revolutionizing educational practices and empowering students and educators with<br/>innovative tools and resources. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the impact of<br/>cloud computing on secondary education in Egypt. The aim of this study is to investigate the<br/>impact of cloud computing platforms on the teaching and learning outcomes, and experiences of<br/>secondary school students in Egypt.<br/>The adopted research design is a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative<br/>data collection and analysis. The quantitative data are collected through a survey for teachers and<br/>students in a secondary school that uses cloud computing platforms and services and another<br/>survey for students from other school with the traditional model. The qualitative data are collected<br/>through interviews and focus group discussions with school directors.<br/>The findings of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the implementation<br/>and impact of cloud computing platforms in the educational context, specifically in the secondary<br/>education system in Egypt.<br/>The results of the study show that cloud computing has a positive impact on the quality and<br/>efficiency of education, as well as on the motivation and satisfaction of learners. which is mainly<br/>reflected in eliminating students’ reliance on private tutoring. The study also identifies the<br/>challenges and barriers that hinder the effective implementation and use of cloud computing, in<br/>addition to providing recommendations for decision makers and educators, on how to overcome<br/>these challenges and maximize the benefits of cloud computing in secondary education in Egypt.<br/>Keywords: Cloud Computing technology, online educational platforms, secondary education. |
