In education
Virtual offices, either as systems or as a set of components could be become the principal components of personal learning environments (PLEs).
- Some propaganda in favor
- it's free
- doesn't need any administration
- teachers don't have to bother with adminstrative red tape
- Against
- Can you trust these services to stay alive ?
- Slow speed and download size of sometimes huge JavaScript libraries
