Abstract Cloud Computing is an emerging technology. It
plays a major role in todays technology sector. People are using
it every day through one way or another. Education sector is not
out of this phenomenon. In this paper it is discussed that how
Bangladesh will be benefited by applying Cloud in Education,
its challenges, case study and success story.

APPLICATION IN EDUCATION
a)
Back Up: An important function of the Cloud is that
it automatically saves content, making it impossible to lose
or delete any valuable material. This means that even if a
users computer crashes, all documents and content will
remain safe, saved, and accessible in the cloud.
b)
Storage: The Cloud allows its users to store almost
all types of content and data including music, documents,
eBooks, applications, photos, and much more.
Figure 1: Regional share in Cloud Computing
A usage survey of cloud (2011) in different sectors of
USA shows that 34% of cloud usage in higher education
sector[13]. Needless to say that the percentage in 2014 is
definitely more due to technological and security
advancement. Figure 2 represents the survey report.
c)
Accessibility: Any data stored in the Cloud can
easily be accessed from almost any device including mobile
devices such as smartphones or tablets.
d)
Collaboration: Because the Cloud allows multiple
users to work on and edit a document at the same time, it
enables effortless sharing and transmission of ideas. With
this feature, group projects and or collaborative lesson plans
can be optimized for both teachers and students.
e)
Resource and Time Conscious: With the availability
of content online, it is no longer necessary for teachers to
spend time for resources printing or copying lengthy
documents or lesson plans. Now, students are able to access
homework, assignments, lesson notes, and other materials
online.
f)
Assignments: I love that the Cloud allows teachers
to post assignments online. Students are able to access these
assignments, complete them, and save them in a folder to be
reviewed later. This means no wasting time turning in papers
at the beginning of class.
These advantages also apply in Bangladesh perspective.
Education rate in Bangladesh is increasing rapidly.
Classrooms are being crowded day by day. Teachers cannot
take care for the students individually. If cloud system is used
in Universities and Schools then students can be benefited a
lot and the teachers can give attention to the content quality
they are uploading to cloud. The quality contents will help
students to learn.
Consider another scenario, most of the higher education
students are financially weak. If an Engineering student or a
Chemistry student wants to do computing works related to his
subject he will need a computer capable of large scale
computing which is very costly. But if there is a cloud server
which facilitates engineering apps or chemistry apps then the
student can do his work with his cheap computer because the
computation is done on the cloud server not his computer. A
