Abstract
In recent years, the use of e-learning in the higher education sector in Saudi Arabia has increased, as it offers many advantages compared to traditional learning; for example, by enabling students to access e-resources anywhere and at any time. Each individual university has its own e-learning system (tools) that receive significant financial investment. However, there is no integration between these systems. The cloud computing can be used in this area as it offers the advantages of facilitating knowledge-sharing and providing different platforms. In this paper, an architecture of a Virtual Learning Environment that supports different e-learning platforms is proposed; the proposed system is based on cloud computing, as it offers many advantages to universities, educators and students. This research aims to show that how cloud computing may be used to support educational domains. Cloud computing is likely to have considerable impact on education in the future and to address
.many challenges facing the sector
