DESCRIPTION
How Cloud Collaboration is changing the way universities work. While most collaboration toolsets have been developed with business in mind, there are a number of ways in which they can be customised to provide real value in an education environment. This session provides real-world examples of how modern hosted collaboration systems can deliver benefits and is intended to provoke discussion about how you can take advantage of this ever-changing technology space. Presented by Brett Looney (Head of Innovation - Amcom) at QUESTnet 2014 (http://www.questnet2014.net.au/)
