The biggest concern is privacy of student data. There are current policies regarding this but none really address the issue directly so that is why this is on the table right now. The new policy is still in draft form and needs more research before putting it in action. For anybody interested in the draft, it is located online at http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/policies/TLintheCloud.html. Other than that, I should be getting my computer today so I will be better able to keep the website up to date. Hope everyone had a good break!
