Educational cloud computing has two meanings. One is "educational cloud", which means improving the efficiency and quality of education and reducing the cost with the help of cloud computing. The second is "cloud education", which refers to the education work around cloud computing.

Cloud computing technology uses the Internet to connect terminals around the world. Educators and learners can obtain high-quality resources from the cloud, upload their own high-quality resources to the cloud, and use the cloud to jointly develop high-quality teaching resources. The same is true of education in Shang Yun, where data sharing becomes more convenient and faster.
