 pursuit of knowledge and learning. This  paper  introduces  the  concept  of  Cloud­Based  Education  for  Computer  Science  (CBE­CS) and  discusses  how  its  framework  can  be  achieved.  Further,  it  shows  how  the  platform can  be generalized to use in various STEM areas. The authors argue that the potentials  in using Cloud Computing  for  teaching  Computer  Science  courses  are  extraordinary since  CS  has  an  intimate relationship with the cloud infrastructure. Thus, CBE­CS can greatly facilitate teaching complex underlying organizations of CS courses such as  Operating Systems, Communication Networks, Cyberspace  Security,  Web­Based  Applications,  Database,  and  High  Performance  Computing. While  other  STEM  education  can

We then computed the average points from all the students for the problem(s).The average rating on a scale from 1 to 5 was obtained by dividing the average points by thedesignated points for that problem(s) and then multiplying the result by 5. Outcome 2 wassimilarly assessed based on the student’s adaptive filter labs and projects.

In brief, JiTT is a teaching and learning strategy based on online learningtechnologies that supplement in-class activities. Its essence is a rapid feedback loop betweenonline student responses, due shortly before class, and an in-class discussion that followsimmediately. The instructor adjusts the discussion in order to focus on concepts that the studentsfind particularly difficult, as revealed by their responses to online questions.The use of JiTT in Computer Science education is not new. However, despite the widespread useof web technologies and interest in active learning in CS education, JiTT has not been
