Cloud+Computing

One of the concerns that we have with the current system is now do we store and retrieve documents and lessons without affecting the space on the local and the LMS servers? Tools we are looking into are those that are related to cloud computing. Of course there is the question - what is cloud computing? What this comes down to and if you want to know more, you can look up "cloud computing" on the web, is that you can store your documents in a system or cloud that you can retrieve from anywhere in the world without your own desktop, flash drive, or disk. On campus the students have an email account that is cloud driven. Being a Microsoft product on a "hotmail" platform, the student is able to write and store a paper or presentation right on the site. The computer they are using does not have to have any Microsoft software loaded.
