Cloud computing introduces an efficient scale mechanism that can let construction of E-learning system be entrusted to suppliers and provide a new mode for E-learning. It provides a convenient, on-demand access to a centralized shared pool of computing resources that can be deployed by a minimal management overhead and with a great efficiency. Cloud Computing is a new model for hosting resources and provisioning of services to the consumers. Therefore, an E-learning system based on Cloud computing infrastructure is feasible and it can greatly improve the efficiency of investment and the power of management, which can make E-learning system development into a virtuous circle and achieve a win-win situation for suppliers and customers. This paper discusses the recent development in e-learning and incorporates it to cloud computing because it is proven to be an advantage. Here, the author also presented the e-learning architecture in the cloud.
