Abstract

The widespread COVID-19 virus encourages businesses and organizations—and educational institutions in particular to use electronic services rather than the more traditional ones. In this case, cloud computing contributes significantly to the e-learning educational offerings. There has been considerable research into cloud computing in higher education across the globe, but little has been done in Iraq. This study was conducted to investigate the viability of cloud computing for higher education in Iraq. Interviews method were conducted with IT staff  as a participants of this study at a public university in Iraq . The participants took part in an interview , the results of which indicated that the implementation of could computing services lead to reduce cost, save time, improve the service’s quality, help the researchers and improve the research and education process.
