Moodle and DigitalChalk

As you can imagine, being an online delivery and publishing site for training through video and audio, we do a good bit of work for educational institutions.  This week we have announced that we are now providing single signon between Moodle and DigitalChalk as well as Moodle hosting.  Moodle is a widely used system for Course Management and creating online learning communities.  It seemed very natural for us to use our expertise in cloud computing, SaaS and education to create an offering that would allow for dynamic multimedia lessons to be delivered within the education community.

DigitalChalk on Cloud Computing Podcast

It is always fun to hear a someone in a "sales" role talk technical.  There are always a couple of fun laughs to be had by all, but I have to hand it to our VP of sales, Tony McCune as he did a good job today on a podcast in which he was on the hotseat.
Tony was interviewed today by John Willis in his Cloud Computing podcast.  It isn't extremely technical, but it does explain some of how we are using Amazon Web Services to accomplish the architecture that we have for the DigitalChalk products.  It was great to listen in on and I have to give great props to Tony for doing a good job explaining some of the technologies we are using.  Check it out for yourself at http://www.johnmwillis.com/cloud-computing/cloud-cafe-podcast-7/ .  On a side note, John Willis has since signed up as an instructor and you will be able to take his courses soon!  As soon as he gets the first ones posted I will let you know.
