Studenti na putu do "oblaka"

The paper addresses cloud computing and the possibilities of its application in education, focusing on using software as a service. The paper shows how each of the cloud computing models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) can find its application within the higher education system. The issue of adoption of cloud computing as a form of innovative technology by all subjects involved in the educational process represents a wider problem area. The objective of the paper is to determine students' motivation and perception towards cloud applications, as well as their impact on the frequency of use of such applications. A statistically significant difference in the motivation and perception of students towards cloud applications between students of Information Sciences and of other study programmes has been determined. The number of computers and mobile devices with Internet access has indicated a statistically significant difference with regard to motivation to use cloud services. However, the number of computers/mobile devices used has had no impact on the perception. The statistically significant positive correlation between the variables motivation – use of cloud applications, and perception – use of cloud application has also been confirmed.
