No More Swikis: End of the Constructionist Web at Georgia Tech « Computing Education Blog.
I’m seeing similar edicts coming from other universities too. I moved all of my university-related stuff to my own private domain several years before I actually left the university because I found it increasingly difficult to do collaborative and cooperative work with and for my students using the university web-spaces. I even set up my own Moodle site on my domain so I could deal with grades and content that could not be publicly posted.
If the formal institutions do not realize that they need to become more open rather than more protectionist, they will become the agents of their own downfall.
