eLearning stuff

Ed Bremner asked how the EEE joins up with Google Docs, and the answer is…….simply excellent. In “easy mode” the EEE offers the user a series of tabbed pages (Favorites, Internet, Work, Learn, Play and Settings) instead of the usual Desktop type interface.

The Internet tab has a Google Docs icon

So……click on the icon and Firefox opens up taking you straight to Google Docs. I know it’s only a preloaded link in a Browser but it’s a simple but effective way of accessing Google Docs.

We are using Google Docs as part of the JISC funded UsPaCe project so mobile access is worth us looking into. The EEE is great when in a Wireless zone (especially after I got it working with Eduroam) so tried to get it linked by Bluetooth to my SPV700 as I’m in plenty of locations without wireless coverage and want to use my phone as a modem.

So far no luck, but it looks like getting the EEE to link to the SPV700 is the next thing on the list.
