In case you didn't know, Reed Elsevier, a British-Dutch publishing company, makes more money from online operations than eBay or Amazon.com (more than £1bn annual web revenues). This is worth keeping in mind as you read this short article describing the company's plans to distribute content to schools online. RM, the company that developed the content platform, "intends the online authoring platform to become a common standard, which will deliver its own material to schools, as well as content from partners such as Harcourt and, in future, other publishers." You won't find very much Reed Elsevier content on the web, by the way: it's kept very much under lock and key behind proxy server access and password protection, the antithesis to an open and accessible web.
