EXPLORATION OF INSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES FOR ADOPTING CLOUD COMPUTING IN E-LEA...IAEME Publication
Cloud computing is a new on-demand delivery of software and hardware resources to consumers over the internet. It has been proposed as a preferred solution for future systems of education. Furthermore, using cloud computing grows rapidly on various applications in different education fields such as E-learning. It has become a critical point on any institutional deploying, creating a remote educations system and designing of the perfect web-based learning environment. Cloud computing is distinguished by providing large storage resources with cost savings and faster data transfer. Nowadays, data of several social networks (photos, music, videos etc.) are stored in their own purchased cloud. As a consequence of using these applications, cloud computing is indirectly used is our life. Therefore, cloud computing (or cloud technology). In other words, the services that one can easily access these applications in electronic devices is called cloud computing.
E-learning systems basically require many software and hardware resources to implement education tasks effectively. Therefore, adopting available cloud-based application can make the tasks more affordable. Cloud offers the opportunity to work from anywhere and combines software, hardware and hosting services in a single structure with a technology that collects solutions for organizations. To achieve this goal, it facilitates the operation by enabling customers to reach the same data simultaneously. This article, thus, investigates barriers to implement cloud e-learning adoption in Iraqi education institutions.

Information Technology (IT) is one of the most emerging
fields in today’s Internet world. IT can be defined in various ways,
but is broadly considered to encompass the use of computers and
telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and
manipulate data. Infrastructure is the base for everything. IT also
has an infrastructure, which can be managed and maintained
properly. For an organization’s Information Technology,
Infrastructure Management (IM) is the management of essential
operation components, such as policies, processes, equipment,
data, human resources and external contacts, for overall
effectiveness.
In this paper, we propose a methodology to manage the IT
Infrastructure in a better way. Our methodology uses the tree-
structure based architecture to manage the infrastructure with less
manual power. The process of how to manage the infrastructure is
discussed with efficient methodology and necessary steps with
algorithm, in this paper. Also, in this paper, the process of workflow
management on IT infrastructure management has been provided.

A review on cloud based knowledge management in higher education ... (Ahmad Shukri Mohd Noor)
5421
Cloud computing is latest and famous technology nowadays and many enterprisers are making
a shift towards its advantages. Needless to mention the associated benefits such as high computational power,
reduction in infrastructure and maintenance costs coupled with on-demand storage capacity.
Cloud computing can be defined as a setup where storage and all data processing happen beyond the user’s
devices and the date traverse through these databases [6].
The main aim of this paper is to assess the benefits and challenges of cloud-based knowledge
management by targeting higher education institutions. Rest of paper will cover the following areas. Section
II and III describes knowledge management and cloud computing in detail, section IV discusses its related
works, section V Knowledge Management Systems using Cloud Computing, section VI analyses and
discussion and finally conclusion in section VII.
2. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Knowledge is useful information in ready form and how and when to use this information is called
Knowledge Management. In other words trick to extract required information from available raw data is
called Knowledge Management. Knowledge can be categories into two main types that are explicit
knowledge and implicit knowledge [7]. According to some websites Knowledge can be divided into three
types that are explicit, implicit and tacit knowledge [8]. Knowledge that is easy to record and share is called
explicit knowledge. Implicit knowledge is transferable skills with job switching. Knowledge that is gained
from personal experience is called tacit Knowledge. Transfer tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge is one
of the main KM task [9].
KM is widely accepted term as the world is continuously moving towards knowledge-based
economy. KM belongs to same class of management like time management and self-management with
the aim of creating and sharing the knowledge in the best interest of organizational practices. Many authors
define knowledge management in their own way as no general accepted definition exists and most of them
are similar. According to [10] Knowledge is top level information ready to use for decisions and actions and
it is combined with experience, context, interpretation and reflection. According to [11]. The term knowledge
management refers to identifying, method of achieving, saving, managing and sharing. According to [12],
KM is a process where organizations have formulated ways in the attempt to recognize and archive
knowledge assets within the organization that are derived from the various employees. Nowadays KM is
considering as integrated part of all domains and enterprises [13]. Figure 1 shows Tree diagram for
knowledge management.

3. CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud Computing refers an online storage of Organization's data as well as infrastructure. Cloud
computing is general term referred as the delivery of on-demand computing resources- everything from
application to data centers- over the internet on a pay-for-use basic. Cloud computing is a setup where

storage and all data processing happen beyond the user’s devices go through these databases [6].
A distributed computing application delivered as a service over the Internet and provides dynamically and
scalable computing resources including storage, computation power [14, 15].
Cloud computing have three main models that are also known as services Models. These models
are:
1. Software as a Service (SaaS) also known as Software on demand Service.
2. Platform as a service (PaaS).
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Cloud computing groups into four main types also known as deployment model [16]. These types
are:
1. Private cloud
2. Public cloud
3. Community Cloud
4. Hybrid Cloud
Many websites and authors also define some more subtype based on multi character. According to
Wikipedia [17] other cloud computing subtypes are Distributed Cloud, Multi Cloud, Big Data Cloud and
High Performance Computing(HPC) Cloud.
Cloud computing model composed of following five key characteristics.
1. On demand self service
2. Broad network access
3. Resource pooling and multi tenancy
4. Rapid elasticity and scalability
5. Measured service

A review on cloud based knowledge management in higher education ... (Ahmad Shukri Mohd Noor)
5423
Keeping in mind the new technology acceptance issues [18] discuss the significances of cloud
computing implementation in education sector to achieve knowledge management. Research model was
analyzed and validate using structural equation technique with the help of survey data collected from
students. Knowledge sharing and synchronization practice was done using drop box accounts to fulfil
the cloud computing environment. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to verify result and
proposed extended model is supposed to be more defensible in term of knowledge creation, sharing, storage
and application.
Knowledge management implementation using cloud computing describe by [19] with case study in
Computer Science High School. Obstacles in Knowledge management system (KMS) implementation such
as expensive IT infrastructure as well as maintenance cost was discussed in detail and recommend cloud
computing as alternate to overcome such barriers. Knowledge Management System Agile Implementation
Methodology (KMSAIM) used for cloud based KMS implementation with PaaS platform from google
(App Engine) and Microsoft (Windows Azure) in case study. Author also highlight that the non-technical
barrier such as governmental procedures may also a cause for slow KMS implementation processing.
In [20] author focus on gathering and sharing the teaching experience in term of knowledge
management within university e-learning environment using cloud computing and Web 2.0. Cloud based
knowledge management architecture was proposed to manage the best teaching experience by facilitating
user to retrieve and share knowledge. The core users of cloud based knowledge management system with in
university are learners, instructors and developers. The main modules for proposed architecture include
knowledge acquisition, refinement and retrieval. Author use a case study to testify the result by using
knowledge creation template as an example in many advantages also claimed by author in favor of proposed
KMS.
A detail systematic review done by [21] focuses on current issues in knowledge management
systems(KMS). Author identified several problems but highlighted three important issues after narrowing
the result set. These issues in knowledge management system are new technology adoption in KMS, big data
in KMS and capabilities development and features of KMS.
An interview based empirical research carried out by [22] and result shows that cloud computing
can contribute in knowledge management by improving decision making processes, response time reduction,
profitability, problems of growth reduction and productivity. Cloud computing implementation in different
areas of knowledge management discussed in detail with benefits that include accessing latest technology,
supporting tool for knowledge transfer and sharing, reduce processing time, reliable IT resource availability
with performance. Associated risk include no control on IT environment, IT staff reduction, Cloud services
dependency, loss or unauthorized use of high profile data.
H. Ramayani, et al. [23] describes KM through cloud computing and use higher education
institution as case study. Literature review methodology used with organizational KM portal and PaaS as
cloud participant. The result shows that online KM portal can increase the overall university performance
by boosting work efficiency and knowledge of employee. Author believes that the staff cooperation in term
of information sharing towards KM is main pillar of KM success.
5. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS USING CLOUD COMPUTING
The process of gaining, creating and dispensing knowledge belongs to knowledge management and
technological implementing of knowledge management in organization is called Knowledge Management
System (KMS) [24, 25]. Presently, knowledge management has gained high recognition by both Higher
Educational and its subsidiaries and earned a space not only for knowledge delivery but also become
a standard for activities related to curricula design and knowledge sharing processes. Hence, knowledge
management implementation will significantly elevate knowledge structure, academic processes, and easy
decision making for management in higher education. Further, knowledge management implementation can
dramatically contribute to increment of adoption ability of learning tools via new IT technologies assist
academic processes [26]. The incessant innovative advancement in today’s IT industry in all domains creates
broad spectrum of opportunities for knowledge management to further expand. In other words the latest
trends in IT obligate KM to align with this dynamic environment. Cloud computing provide practical
management tools and offers internet space to ensure the knowledge attainable and manageable in virtual
form [26]. Cloud computing’s technology can be leveraged to manage a wide range of knowledge and
services in order to effectively meet the needs of the organization with efficacy.
Higher Education Institutions are suffering new challenges including dynamic educational reform,
low budget, mass data creation, growing need of IT infrastructure, innovative trends in technology and digital
educational methodology. These issues pay attention for concern authorities to find alternate and state of
the art solution to overcome these problems.

Cloud based knowledge management is an attractive solution for above issues and meet all
contemporary requirements for any organization including higher education institution. Knowledge
management can be phenomenally benefited with the cloud computing integration towards improvement in
decision making process, response time reduction for critical academic issues, and knowledge sharing
coupled with additional set of benefits [22]. In order to take advantage of cloud computing implementation
combined with KM concepts, any functional model being considered for development must have a blend of
best KM practices and appropriate infrastructure for better knowledge management and knowledge
sharing [27].
6. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The objective of this study is to perform an in-depth systematic review of the literature of cloud-
based knowledge management. Despite the fact that this is a highly interesting topic, very limited research
work has been undertaken in this area. Therefore, different research papers were studied on similar topics that
concluded cloud computing offers an integrated alternative solution to knowledge management
implementation. Nevertheless, adoption of new technology also comes with benefits, risks and challenges.
Hence, cloud computing’s latest technological features offer on demand modified solutions to organization’s
specific needs at a reasonable cost. Some of the associated benefits from HEI’s perspective are:
a. Platform compatibility poses a major challenge towards shifting to new technology from existing one that
requires a robust and flexible infrastructure to meet the requirement of new tools. However, cloud
adoption eliminates this challenge by offering Platform as Service (PaaS) features.
b. Rapid rate of new technology adoption with customized features is another benefit.
c. Traditional adoption of new technology is complex and poses a huge financial burden upon
the organization that involves knowledge transfer, staff training, and equipment costs. Often limited and
tightly controlled budget of HEI holds back such ventures. However, cloud offers a cost effective and
easy to manage services for technological adoption.
d. Cloud offers very intuitive and user-friendly knowledge management creating and sharing options. Office
360 just offers those kinds of solution. Decision making becomes much easier with knowledge sharing.
e. Cloud eliminates the risk of knowledge security with knowledge integration by offering a highly secured
and beneficial private cloud feature.
f. On demand storage is very flexible to meet the needs of ever-growing data for any organization with
reliability and security.
g. Managed service platform feature of cloud computing is highly reliable and aligns with in-house
infrastructure. The Service Level Agreement (SLA) offers a guaranteed and uninterrupted services
offering all year round at all times. Organizations can benefit from redundant pool of IT services. [28]
A survey conducted by [29] to identify the expected benefits of cloud adoption and result as shown
in Figure 3.

Despite advantages, there a many shortcoming and challenges posed by cloud-based knowledge
management. Some of them are:
a. Data migration and integration is a major challenge while relocating data from one place to another
followed by integration and switching of vendors.
b. Reliability of the data can be compromised while moving sensitive data in the companies who are new to
adoption of this technology. Hence cloud computing is more recommended with highly experienced
organizations.
c. Service provider dependency is another challenge posed by this technology.
d. Data privacy and security is always at risk while moving data to cloud that may be comprised with
cybercrime.
e. Tradition IT infrastructure is possibly more robust maintain and handle data storage as opposed to
location on cloud.
Cloud challenges describe by [30] based on research conducted by Enterprise Panel (National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 2009) in Aug 2008 as shown in Figure 4. The Figure 4 result
shown that security remains the main challenges even till date and rest of challenges minimized according to
cloud computing maturity with the passage of time. The Figure 5 shows the benefits and challenges of Cloud
Computing with () check mark and () cross correspondingly.

7. CONCLUSION
This study concludes with the discussion of integration of knowledge management and cloud
computing benefits with Higher Education Institutions. The results indicate that cloud-based knowledge
management offer cost effective technological and methodical solutions. The cloud based knowledge
management will elevate the institution’s success with an upward shift in the educational methodology.
Consequently, this will yield provision of best knowledge sharing practices between intra and inter
institutions. Additionally, it will further assist decision making processes more accurate and efficient with
robust data reliability. Lastly, teaching load management and teacher-student communication will be
enhanced. Eventually, the community would be benefited with knowledge serving. The benefits and
challenges go hand in hand with the adoption of new technology switching from existing system to
the new one. However, literature review indicates that benefits are far more promising; count more in number
that tend to shadow the challenges. Nonetheless challenges still needs to be addressed and cannot be
totally ignored.
Moreover, the above identified challenges must be considered to manage and addressed according to
the needs of an organization. According to the Cloud Industry Forum’s report, 99% of cloud-based KMS
users have barely experienced any security breach even though data security is a major notable concern.
Lastly, cloud computing will allow organizations to better perform with effective digital solutions and have a
competitive advantage of any organizations.
