Summary: 
Gartner says the hype cycle on cloud computing is at its peak, with a
long slide into the "trough of disappointment" about to begin. Why is
higher education still so excited about cloud computing? This is a sober
look at a complicated subject.

Use #EDULive to discuss this or any EDUCAUSE Live! Webcast on Twitter
before or after the event.
