Abstract
In specific fields, such as e-training in nursing, involving computer-intensive training scenarios, there is an increased demand to deliver training services to a larger number of learners, and with it, the need for cloud services. However, to date there has been a lack of a formalized framework relating to the use of cloud computing for on-demand interactive e-training resources in nursing education. To this end, this chapter formalizes a conceptual framework for a cloud-based e-training system in nursing education. The conceptualization takes into consideration nursing e-training system requirements, with a focus on applying cloud computing technologies to ensure the dynamic scalability of virtual distributed services and computing power while maintaining QoS and security.
