Abstract
Integration of modern technology in enhancing learner-centered approach to instruction is increasingly
being encouraged in higher education. Cloud computing has enhanced the way data is shared and stored.
Learning resources can be stored in cloud computers thus, enabling groups of students to collaborate
and edit shared materials. In addition, it also provides a number of advantages such as reduce storage
cost, enhanced security, accessibility of learning materials and easy communication. Tutorial classes
can take advantage of cloud computing to have the tutorial learning resources stored in the cloud. This
will allow learners to collaborate online and edit tutorial materials regardless of the physical location
of the participants. This book chapter discusses how cloud computing technologies can be utilized in
education sector and proposes a cloud computing model which can be incorporated in a tutorial class
