Educational Guardian on e-learning at universities

I was interviewed by The Guardian regarding our experience with Flashmeeting and Hexagon. We used both technologies in the EliseLeren training course, but have started using FlashMeeting in very many international research and education activities.

Writely acquired by Google

Long time since I last published something on my Blog, but now I feel the urge to briefly mention the following.
Writely.com informs us on their website and their Blog that they have been acquired by Google.

Now this is what I call good news!

We have been using Writely for some time in our EliseLeren course, but have not advertised it on a larger scale within the university, because of the risk that the service would be cancelled at some point in time. Now this risk has strongly diminished, and we can start testing it on a larger scale for collaborative learning and writing.
