Security Issues Related to Cloud Applications in STEM Education
Abstract
Learning based on cloud computing, denoted as cloud learning (CL) in short, is a disruptive innovation and a current buzzword in education. It provides a learner-centered platform that benefits learners, instructors, and education providers. However, because it requires the Internet and is built on cloud computing, CL has inherent security issues. By analyzing the benefits and the security threats inherent in CL, this chapter aims to help CL stakeholders in STEM Education (namely cloud service providers, cloud content providers, and cloud users) to better understand the security issues inherent in CL from the perspectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The discussions about the risks that CL stakeholders in STEM education incur as a result of prevailing security threats and system vulnerabilities will help those stakeholders to assess the cost effectiveness of security countermeasures.
