English Abstract

Information technology in today's world is no longer considered as an optional set of tools that support the prosperity of various industries but also it has affected all aspects of our life in one way or another.

Similarly, the technology of cloud computing which evolved rapidly in all countries including Iraq through the last few years whereby some of the cloud technologies are highly-used by both individuals and organizations in many fields like broadcasting, marketing, health care, education and others.

This paper presents some potential advantages of implementing cloud computing at the higher education colleges and institutions of Iraq.

Then propose a generic model with six service layers for applying cloud computing technology to support engineering colleges and institutes to be able to implement an educational cloud computing clearly, easily and moving them out of the whirlpool of updating and maintaining their infrastructure.

The proposed model allows developers to create flexible and reusable layers and layers with independency to offering efficient services for the students and academic staff, besides saving their time, cost, and effort.
