Durn it! I was all excited when Nathan Andelin told us about the
exciting things he uses IBM i for in education at
http://www.relational-data.com/
But today's Wall Street Journal has a big article on Coursera, an online
education provider, who will undoubtedly take over market share,
crushing the feeble efforts of relational-data.com to remain relevant in
education. Coursera probably has a bajillion Windows servers in their
server farm, serving their 3.5 million registered users.
Read all about Coursera with a Google search on:
site:online.wsj.com coursera
Is there any possibility for Nathan and us to remain relevant when
venture capitalists fund new startups like Coursera?
Sigh!
