Strategy for Private Educational WEB 2.0 install

Post by joefrosty »

I built a private WEB 2.0 educational technology website for my school. We keep all our data private due to student age issues. This privacy prevents us from using google, but we need something in the cloud that allows students to log on to our site, launch an office app and save it to the site.

We currently use ZOHO writer, show, & sheet. Through this remote API we launch their app from their server, but save all data to our site. students can then open & edit online, download, or share the document for school purposes to save paper.

But ZOHO is going the way of Google and wanting all data to be saved to their servers which we can't do for security & privacy of young students.

Long story - sry - but how can we load OO to our webserver so that our users can access & implement these apps 100% online?

Thanks in advance.

Gotta b in the cloud! There's an app for that :)

Hi and welcome to the forum!

OOo cannot be used as an online application if that's what you wanted to implement.

How can OO expect to compete with Microsoft or Google if it can't be used as an online application?

Are there any plans to expand the current business model to include SAS?

I suppose that you'll have to distribute OOo among your students, that they write their stuff with it, and upload it to your servers. As OOo is available on all platforms, all students should be able to get it to work.
