CAPABILITIES OF CLOUD COMPUTING TEACHING IN APPLICATION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN TERTIARY LEVEL

Abstract

Modern tertiary education is highly influenced by the general trends in the social, technological and economical spheres of life. It also becomes one of the key factors to provide and develop these transformations. The major skills students need in order to be successful in their career and to be able to bring positive change into their professional field are as follows: critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration skills. Teachers and methodologists are constantly working on providing the necessary tools to help students obtain these essential skills. For instance, Cloud Computing Teaching is aimed to facilitate teachers and students within the educational process. It has both the advantages like accessibility, collaboration, organization and cost; and disadvantages such as privacy issues, access to the internet and reliability [13]. Though the capabilities of using Cloud Computing Learning to facilitate the interdisciplinary approach in higher education have not been studied yet.
