    EduCloud PaaS Versus IaaS Cloud Usage

    This document summarizes a study evaluating the use of platform as a service (PaaS) clouds versus infrastructure as a service (IaaS) clouds for an advanced computer science course involving 84 students and four professors. The study found that PaaS clouds were valued by both students and professors for achieving course objectives, as they required less effort to set up software than the previous lab environment. PaaS clouds improved the course by allowing students to focus on tasks rather than software setup. These results apply to courses where students interact with non-self-contained resources like networks, databases, or clouds.

    EduCloud: PaaS versus IaaS Cloud Usage for an Advanced

    Computer Science Course

    ABSTRACT:

    The cloud has become a widely used term in academia and the industry. Education
    has not remained unaware of this trend, and several educational solutions based on
    cloud technologies are already in place, especially for software as a service cloud.
    However, an evaluation of the educational potential of infrastructure and platform
    clouds has not been explored yet. An evaluation of which type of cloud would be
    the most beneficial for students to learn, depending on the technical knowledge
    required for its usage, is missing. Here, the first systematic evaluation of different
    types of cloud technologies in an advanced course on network overlays with 84
    students and four professors is presented. This evaluation tries to answer the
    question whether cloud technologies (and which specific type of cloud) can be
    useful in educational scenarios for computer science students by focusing students
    in the actual tasks at hand. This study demonstrates that platform clouds are valued
    by both students and professors to achieve the course objectives and that clouds
    offer a significant improvement over the previous situation in labs where much
    effort was devoted to setting up the software necessary for course activities. These
    results most strongly apply to courses in which students interact with resources that
    are non-self-contained (e.g., network nodes, databases, mechanical equipment, or
    the cloud itself), but could also apply to other science disciplines that involve
    programming or performing virtual experiments.
