Internet search services provider Google, Inc., US, recently released an internal learning platform, CloudCourse, under an open source license. Built on Google's App Engine, CloudCourse allows anyone to create and track learning activities. It also offers calendaring, waitlist management and approval features.
CloudCourse is fully integrated with Google Calendar and can be further customised to sync the data with other internal systems; schedule classes in your locations; and look up user profile (employee title, picture, etc).
CloudCourse was developed to provide a course scheduling system fully integrated with Google services. By releasing CloudCourse as open source, Google hopes to help developers who want to port or build enterprise applications on App Engine. As the source code is open, and as more and more schools explore and embrace Google's Apps for Education, CloudCourse may become another part of the ed-tech arsenal.
