In some of our educational institutions, and how some applications that use Cloud Computing technology can be used for E-Learning in educational institutions.
 
So the key question for this research was: How can cloud computing be used in E-Learning?
What are the most popular cloud computing applications in E-Learning?
This was called the application of a questionnaire on a sample of faculty members at Minia University and some teachers in public and private schools. The number of participants was 74 to determine their awareness of the importance of using cloud computing in education and whether it was used or not.
