Yea, I agree, this would be cool stuff to see on the VLE ““my” Virtual Learning Environment would consist of a Course Management System, an ePortfolio system/solution, my shared file/object repository, student email and remotely accessible storage facility and even my authentication server for accessing external resources as with Federated Access Management.”

Increasingly we need IT services in Colleges that can respond to need, not only respond to highly formalised and planned strategic requests. What I mean is, sometimes we (ok me) see a really excellent service/eportfolio/cool thing that could never have been forseen and therefore doesn't figure in my strategic plan. I see it...I want it....I can't have it under our current regime as i haven't planned it 5 yrs in advance and the kit isn't there. So bring on virtualisation if it allows us to be flexible and timely in the services we provide for our learners.
