Abstract
This study presents the portfolio towards the development of cloud university. The developed portfolio was produced by assessing the level of quality of system applications, hardware, current cloud technologies and internet infrastructure. The appropriateness of the policies and procedures for cloud operations, the preferences on the subjects to take and the services to receive online and the best practices and the challenges encountered by the schools offering online courses were also identified. Using the descriptive statistics the mixed method was employed to collect qualitative and quantitative data gathered through surveys, interviews and document analysis. The triangulation approach was used to cross verify results from different sources to increase validity and credibility of this study. These were treated, analysed and presented. The results from the study were used to come up with the following plans and projects, policy development for cloud university, on-line course design conversion, development of website, restructuring of organization and faculty and non-teaching staff development. The developed portfolio may be used as reference towards running the university’s entire operation on internet using cloud computing technology.
