I think the fast emerging concept of utilizing the cloud could be leveraged in course building. Most schools now have administrative type portals for basic information to live but I am curious about actual course material being placed on the cloud for internal use. By placing important blocks of information in a centralized location that can be easily accessed -schools can close the gap across programs or multiple geographical locations. The concept of using shared drives and other such tools has been proven to do that very same thing. However, shared drives usually come with an additional level of complexity when managing and developing. They are also not always synchronous in response to updates and changes. With the proper setup and access protocols, I think this technology might be leveraged by many institutions going forward. I am curious if anyone is doing this for allowing access to internal general course building components? If so - have you found it effective for driving toward standardization?
