Learning in the cloud

Interesting viewpoints captured during the London Learningtechnologies conference last month on SaaS - software as a service. Looking at the pros and cons of hosting an LMS on an external server, the article on www.trainingzone.co.uk gives food for thought. With Google apps, and many other services becoming pure Internet hosted apps, it is only a matter of time that the LMS Market shifts to a cloud model. The benefits are not hard to calculate. No worries about upgrades, no fiddling with servers, and maintenance schedules, SaaS sounds more and more attractive.
