Introduce educational software

When we are talk about Web 2.0, I very important element "cloud process", like Google Docs , had become more and more common. Rather than using a same software, why we do not think about using the same working platform?
glide is a online Operating System, which user can login to their Operating System anywhere, anytime with different devices, of cause the one we are introducing is not perfect at this moment but this will be a good way to go ahead.

The advantage of this are as follow:
  1. All student us the same Free working platform. Students do not need to buy and install any software.
  2. Machine independent. Students can log in by any computer which bring their own computer is Not a MUST, they can continue their work on any computer.
  3. It allow students the share documents like Google docs. and contain NetMeeting function, student can collaborate through the platform.
  4. They do not have any excuse for forget to bring their homework.

    The working platform you introduced are vey userfriendly. And no need to bring personal laptop is really a very good advantage. Thank you for sharing.

    The WebOS is very good. I am using it now. It is user friendly. The speed is not too slow.
    But I have some concerns when we use it on teaching and learning. We have to depend on the network speed and apps the WebOS provide.
    I can't waiting if we can use WebOS on teaching and learning although Glide is still in development process.

    Yes this is a problem :( I had try to use it in HKU Library last Friday afternoon, as there are many people accessing the Internet and limitation of the bandwidth, I had used 4 minutes in order to load the login page.

    As I mentioned in the lesson it is a prototype at this moment...I think the solution for this that later on, we can develop a server for the free WebOS in our school servers, just like what we have as using Linux.

    hahaha MAC UI.... I think it will be available if they are a sub-company under Apple... but according to my experience their interface looks like Linux... which is open source
