DOWNSIDE: Flashy Fileserver
Some setbacks – Sep 2007 AUGent partnership project
Free dokeos platform Centralized management Helpdesk Left the program after 14 days
Failure in update to 1.8.4 -> reinstall from scratch
Relaunch 3rd week of September Bad practice: teachers hand out account

hence less students get their account details
