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
