this is the results of the cfeverywhere project from a couple of years back?
I wish it was around 4 years ago. Could it help to get by? on small tasks, yes definitely. But it would have issues with collaborative/team projects, assessment processes, auditing, exposure to the outside world, showcasing student work, etc. Put it this way, I know for a fact that our creative industries faculty have their own streaming and webservers for student work. for video they have looked at things like YouTube instead of centrally controlling student content (per faculty or per institution) but that's raised many issues that's still being worked through. so, many thanks for the FYI, Chris. lets try and put a positive spin on this and think of the future: in what way are Adobe engaging educational institutions to bring CF into the class room? What worthwhile educational support programs are out there I can try to bring to the attention of possibly the right people? What incentives can I enlighten them to? I'm no longer in the classroom so some things might have missed my attention. And I no longer have any direct control over course content but it ... ahem.. . might be handy to know** I am aware that this year is the first year in a long while that _new_ student enrolements in IT are actually up (at least here). From trough to crest, the wave is starting to turn. Now is as good a time as any to start. Especially if there's a splash of CF publicity on a new release to back it up with. ** and I know there are others on list who could also benefit from knowing this.
