The Trojan Horse: Web Services Penetrate the Enterprise by Stealth At the Workflow Institute we were the first to identify Web Services as the most important trend impacting the learning industry. Most vendors now (at least privately) admit that it is "the only way to go". Customers often tell us that they are not aware of any Web Services initiatives in the company much less in their learning technology projects. That is because Web Services is an "under the hood" technology. In a recent article on SearchWebServices.com, writer Roman Stanek described how Web Services are penetrating the enterprise in a "Trojan Horse" fashion....

    Confessions of an education technologist (This is mostly for my girlfriend who's a Steiner 'nut' ;o) I may be an educational technologist, I may teach online, I may write online, I may advocate others doing so and I may spend more time typing than talking, but:

  • I do not want technology to replace teachers nor do I think it ever will.
  • I don't think online education can replace or replicate people getting together in a room.
