The intention to adopt model of infrastructure as a service-based e-learning in higher education institutions in Nigeria

The global demand for providing education for all in the context of Nigerian Higher Education Institutions signifies the urgent need for an effective and efficient method of delivering e-learning content. Presently, the developed countries are adopting Cloud-Based e-learning for its cost reduction,...
