Cisco has taken responsibility for the malfunction of the Webex platform that today affected distance learning both in Greece as well as other European countries.
Cisco Greece-Cyprus-Malta Communications and Marketing Director Elena Prassaki accepted full responsibility for fiasco of today's first application of e-learning. He stated that Cisco has restored the operation of the Webex service, which today affected for a short time (!!) a limited number of users in the EMEAR region (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia).
Our research shows that the children of the Gymnasium and Lyceum managed to connect to Webex only in the first hour of the school distance education, as after that the service collapsed.
Ms. Prassaki added that Cisco continues to evolve its systems and processes to mitigate the likelihood of similar events in the future. Thank you Webex users for their patience in resolving this issue.
On the part of students and parents, however, the internet "celebrated" the first and failed attempt of the State machines for school distance learning, with various and imaginative texts and photos. Examples of Greek humor we read:
"It was a webex and it became a web-ex"
"Of course, tomorrow they will tell us that it is to blame Netflix and Facebook"
"Did the children try to hit the router to get into e-learning or do they expect everything from the state?" In the old days, when the remote control did not work or the TV did not play, we would throw some carpets and they would work. Useless generations, do not shake their hand a little. "
"They did so well with the masks that I really wonder what went wrong with distance learning."
Speaking on public television, the Deputy Minister of Education, Ms. Sofia Zacharaki, also attributed the problems to a technical issue of the Webex platform (of the Cisco company) and clarified that the current absences are not counted.
Unfortunately, as it goes, iguru.gr becomes even more politicized…
I will totally agree! Once upon a time we went in to read something different in our minimal free time, some news that might have escaped us, some interesting application that we had not tried and we suddenly realize that iGuru (I laugh at the title now) is slowly turning into a political leaflet. From the ones that you use printed for the feces in the canaries' cages.
As you begin with the 16 years of technology analysis that others envy, tell us if what you write here applies: https://iguru.gr/2020/11/09/tilekpaidefsi-anamenomeno-fiasko-tis-defteras-kai-psemata
Because if they do not apply as you imagine, I will answer you in the only language you will understand, you have become a ROBA!

Dude, I'm responding to a number of comments, not to show who's bigger, but because I'm personally interested in the criticism. As you may have understood, we are open to any kind of criticism (all comments are approved) and especially to the one that aims to make us better.
Iguru was not created to be played by a guru because I acquired the knowledge from others. So I can not underestimate or overestimate anyone. One thing I do know, the biggest discoveries have been made by questioning.
So iguru is what you see and yes it is politicized like everything around us after all but it is not partisan. Sometimes opinions clash, and sometimes as it happened here they go away for many different reasons.
However, our goal is one:
transfer of information or opinion without censorship, and the step is open to anyone who thinks they have a.
good continuation and if you want you can find me at giorgos@iguru.gr
