Glow has been a major part of our nation's development in technologies for learning. Some great work has been carried out with Glow and many resources have been created with it. It has given many teachers and pupils a safe and closed environment to explore tools that the on-line world can provide. It allows secure sharing and collaboration across the whole of Scotland.
The announcement asked us to consider the best free services and tools which we could use to extend Glow.
Current Services and Future Replacements
New Services
Services
Many of the services above would fall under the Google Apps for Edu service. Offered free to education these tools could become the new "core" of Glow and make use of our single sign-on. Another alternative could be the Microsoft Live @ Edu offering.
Other thoughts
How do we take forward the best of the services of the web together with our single sign on? Which of these features should we retain? What other online services could we use as replacements. Is there scope for partnership with providers to have Glow landing pages and sign-on at other services sites? single sign on?
Do we need to develop/obtain a Glow API so that third-parties can develop applications that use Glow content? Could a third-party API (such as that used with Google Docs) do the job for us?
