Cloud computing plays a major role’s in today’s technology sector. Education sector is not out of this phenomenon. Cloud computing is transforming teaching and learning, inside and outside the classroom. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of adoption of cloud computing among Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) academicians, students and staffs. Besides, this study also was conducted to determine factors that influenced the decision of adopting cloud computing in teaching and learning. A validated administered questionnaire was transformed into Google Form to ease the data collection process. Students's t-test and Chi -Square test were used for univariate data analysis. For multivariate data analysis, multiple binary logistic regression analysis was performed. The results found that 67.1 percent of respondent adopting the cloud computing in teaching and learning process. There was a significant difference on mean scores of usage variables by adoption of cloud computing status. The adoption of cloud computing in teaching and learning status of respondents do not have a significant association with gender. Furthermore, only variable of usage was significantly influenced the adoption of cloud computing in teaching and learning. In conclusion, it is recommended to motivate the academicians, students and staffs to maximize the usage of cloud computing to ensure that the adopting of cloud computing was applied in learning and teaching process.
