About the Educational Cloud
Modern cloud services determine our private life. We coordinate our appointments with our favorite calendar, maintain contacts through social networking services and we manage and share our documents using cloud storage. For reasons of data protection and privacy however, these cloud technologies have not found their way into our educational institutions.
However, we believe that our teachers should be able to decide what tools or what learning platform they would like to use for each class or teaching tasks. Using afederated educational cloud you can provide and use modern learning, working and authoring tools together with your partners.
