# ''This is a course on open education. Why use a closed platform like WebEx for the online seminars?''<br>Good question! We prefer open, and a lot of our work is designed to ensure and preserve an open web infrastructure. However, there are situations where we do use closed technology. In this case, WebEX offered a few features (like Q&A queuing) that we felt we needed for the seminars. It remains a sticky issue though - and we decided that one way to deal with it, was to integrate this question into the course. Educators have to make decisions just like this all the time, so we'll take a closer look at the pros and cons. | # ''This is a course on open education.
