САЖЕТАК:

Companies are moving towards the cloud more than ever, and startups are getting full support from cloud providers in terms of consulting and credits, with developers adopting new programming models shifting further away from traditional technologies. However, teaching cloud computing is still a major undertaking, as it is still difficult choosing the right tools, learning platforms, and creating curriculums to cover such a wide body of knowledge. One of the newest additions to teaching cloud is the AWS Academy curriculum and learner labs and long-running labs. In this paper, the results of implementing the AWS Academy with a hybrid model at Faculty of Technical Sciences are observed. Post-semester evaluation showed up that use of this initiative’s resources can fully support an introductory course in cloud computing. However the proper adaptation is needed to fully utilise the platform and achieve the learning goals.
