Abstract

The paper examined Cloud Computing Technology: An Effective Tool for Curriculum Delivery in Nigeria Educational Process. This is because the current technology is a paradigm shift towards making the whole process of teaching and learning students’ centre thereby ensuring the development of the needed skills in this 21st Century that include, critical thinking, collaborations and problem solving. Notable to all, majority of students and teachers have one form of technology or the other, such as cell phones, mobile phones and mini-computers which makes it easy to access the internet at their fingertips. With this development, Teaching-Learning and Research in Education will undergone a phenomenal change which would makes the whole process changing so significantly. Hence, the use of these tools in the education sector will strengthen further and reform the system. Because it would enables learning everywhere and all the time. Based on the above, the paper explored the definitions and meaning of cloud computing; Implementation & Use of the tools for Teaching and Learning, were discussed. Similarly, the components structure and its types was identified and explained such as: Public Cloud, Private Clouds and Hybrid Clouds The paper equally, identified Advantages as well as dis-advantages of the use of cloud computing in education. Such advantages include Accessible educational tools; Improved collaboration & Better learning facilities. Lastly, conclusion and recommendations for the improved use of cloud computing in education were highlighted and this include, Educators considering implementing of the cloud into their context for teaching and learning should ensure that the tools can be effectively handle both by the students and teachers in order to achieve the curriculum objectives.
