Better understanding Cloud Computing and its different concerns

Infonuagique et collaboration virtuelle (in French). François Casabon (Fédération des cégeps) See description Cloud computing solutions will soon be an integral part of the education world and of our interactions with students. They have already become unavoidable for the new generation of virtual work teams. The paradigms associated with using cloud computing are recent and are provoking the collapse of geographical, technological (e.g. Mac vs. PC) and chronological barriers. With this context in mind, how can CEGEPs capitalize on this technology in their teaching? This slideshow, which was presented at the ITREP meeting in October 2015, defines the concept of “cloud computing”. It also presents cloud computing tools currently available in the college network. The slideshow also looks at the technical, legal and financial issues associated with using cloud computing, linked with the software or platforms used in the college network (LEA, Moodle, Omnivox, Webex, Adobe Connect, VIA, etc.). The issue of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is also addressed. |
