January 26th, 2010Open U. adopts Google Apps for Edu.
Niall Sclater heads up the Learning Innovation Office here at Open U., and describes our move into the cloud providing students with Google Apps for Education… while Tony Hirst provides sideways commentary…
Taking a cloud-based platform for granted obviously helps as we plan how to embed additional sociality in the learner experience.

I recently completed a spec for the “Playground Games” multiplatform format that was successfully pitched to an international broadcaster and would love to talk about collaborating with your great production. This is aimed at being produce leading up to the 2012 games and we are looking for partners/cofunders that would significantly benefit from this internet based production. Does this sound of interest to you or anyone you know?
The production will draw communities together through their childrens play and act as a research tool to document the cultural, linguistic and historic differences between the way young people play. It aims to be a fun way to collect scientific data and mirrors the UK’s multicultural nature with the rest of the world!
Just made http://www.WEBiversity.org using http://www.Traidmark.org and would love to work with you http://www.whymandesign.com

Hooray! At last we can start winding down our dreadful (in terms of performance and reliability) Web services, and use a decent cloud. Should have been done two years ago, of course…
Can’t wait to get a course converted to using them…

I will be one of those pushing very hard indeed for integrated and direct use of google apps in a course: can’t wait to get a decent performance IM system and shared documents: those two by themselves will be absolutely fantastic for our courses compared to their absence right now!
