Abstract
The paper is concerned with the capabilities of modern cloud services in an educational setting. General characterization of the existing clouds includes the analysis of worldwide IT trends, description of different cloud computing models and methods of deployment, such as private, community, public and hybrid clouds, as well as preferred trends for using a particular cloud type. To that end, the authors give data and statistics on the global IT market in the segment of cloud technologies. It is emphasized that SaaS solutions and hybrid clouds with different providers are recognized by users to be the most promising. In this context, a new trend is emerging in the evolution of the most popular clouds: all of them have embarked on a multi-cloud course. Interest to such technological solutions in higher education is also growing. Analyzing the prospects of using hybrid clouds in an academic setting, the authors define the most popular clouds, discuss modern cloud services and tools that can be used for co-working both in the classroom and outside it. In conclusion, the authors present their own learning model based on cloud services that make it truly flexible and interactive, approaching in their intrinsic features to agile education methodology.
