17 Institutions Join IBM Cloud Academy - David Nagel, THE Journal
IBM has launched Cloud Academy, an online resource and collaborative forum for campus IT professionals, educators, and researchers in K-12 and higher ed. Cloud Academy is designed to help academic institutions with their cloud computing initiatives and related professional development and to provide a forum for sharing best practices. Cloud Academy participants have access to IBM's various cloud services--LotusLive, IBM Desktop Cloud Services, Virtual Computing Labs, and Corporate Citizenship Education Projects--and have an opportunity to "work with elite researchers in IBM labs throughout the world, many of whom are working on cloud initiatives in education, to extend the boundaries of cloud computing in education," according to information released by IBM. They'll also be able to create interest groups, work with IBM developers, collaborate across institutions, and help to advance cloud computing, where appropriate, by contributing to open source software projects and validating content for accessibility.
