With the fast development of cloud computing, education "cloud" has become a research hot spot. The integration of cloud computing and education has important impact on the establishment of an open, flexible learning service platform and on implementing resource sharing. By analyzing the current development of education cloud, this paper presents the architecture of an education cloud service platform and principles for designing various cloud services such as search, learning, resource service, and management. Based on the architecture we designed and developed a "Mobile Class" system for lifelong learning. This paper also reports the results of our usability testing with targeted users.
