Cloud Computing and Online Services

Start with cloud computing

Begin with the Cloud Computing mind map that introduces cloud computing, its advantages and disadvantages, and its service models. It covers software as a service, infrastructure as a service and platform as a service. Use the branches to organize the terms, then describe each one in your own words.

Another cloud computing mind map focuses on security, performance and software. Compare its points with the first map to explore different aspects of using cloud services.

Explore related systems and services

The mind maps on cloud computing and ubiquitous computing systems connect cloud services with cloud storage. They describe cloud computing as using services on another organization’s computers. The flashcards on ubiquitous computing also cover embedded processors, radio frequency identification and applications of ubiquitous computing.

For a different focus, open Online Services. This flashcard deck lists areas such as communication, commerce, government, entertainment and education. The Services mind map also groups examples under headings such as communication, real-time information and government. Compare the map’s branches with the terms in the deck.

Use the formats together

Start with a mind map to see how its terms are grouped. Then use a flashcard deck to practice recalling terms without looking at the map. Return to the relevant branch when you want to check a connection or go over a term again. The page does not list any quizzes, so the maps and flashcards are the available formats for this topic.

Place the topic in the unit

Cloud Computing and Online Services is a section of ICT Systems and Applications in Computing and ICT. The resources here offer different starting points within that section, from cloud service models to the uses of online services. Choose the format that suits the part of the section you want to practice next.
