The Google Grid
I just listened to a podcast by Kevin Rose about his thoughts on the G Drive (Google's new online storage concept).
It got me thinking about the new Ravensbourne learning environment which was spoken about in my interview with Fiona Duggan of D.E.G.W. on Monday, which will be available to listen too hear soon.
The idea that students wouldn't have to be onsite to access their work would be a great enhancement to the Virtual Learning Environment (V.L.E.). Work aspects could be publicised or stored privately, podcasts from lecturers or personal ones could be stored for access at anytime and it would supply a public access space for group work and projects and everything would be shareable at the click of a button.
I really feel that Google are providing a lot of services that could be of use to this future infrastructure, such as Google Calendar and GMail, if not to be used themself, at least as a good template for the way things could go.
