I LOVE your idea here (in this post, and this whole site). I wish I could find other people who thought that way (or even a district that supported innovative technology and didn't think everything was a conspiracy or a security leak). But, it's awesome and inspiring to see the possibilities! My favorite thing (ok, one of them) was the split screen for looking at the work while giving feedback/grading. Very Cool!

The point with giving credit is more about letting people know where else to look for further reading - who else is thinking like this, who else can I read/follow/etc. We need to know who is coming with ideas so we know who to connect with. Oh, and we played the LMS Zombie video 1 - was a big hit. We just had a very energetic session about this topic at TxDLA – many people getting in to this idea for the first time.

I really don't care if anybody ever cites my work about this stuff--I just want the paradigm to change so that learning platforms are more supportive of authentic teaching and learning activities. (Okay, maybe I care a tiny bit, but I care a *LOT* more about the culture / paradigm change than I do about whether or not someone mentions an article or blog post I've written. We're all part of an ongoing, technical, academic, philosophical, conversation with lots of give and take with lots of voices contributing to the conversation. I'm just glad to be part of it every once in awhile.) @Jim I couldn’t agree more.

I hate to get aught up in that trap, it's time to share build and make it better, not give a shit about who did what when.

It is all smoke and mirrors, and has a ton of missing pieces, but you can see if here: http://www.edugeekjournal.com/newvision/demo/ And I'm in the process of revising it, so if some of it doesn't match up with the manifesto, sorry about this! Harriet and I will be presenting this at TxDLA in Houston next week if anyone reading this happens to be there (http://www.txdla.org).

It gets rid of terms that some people don't like (system, environment, social, etc). In a sense, that is really what the future of education is. @Jon - BTW, I loved your article. I think your work is fantastic! In fact, I love the name OLE, especially since "Social" has become an over-used buzzword now (as George Siemens and others have pointed out). And I also see that I forgot to link to your article - need to go in and fix that! @Jim - You can probably see a lot of your influence in the newer ideas. Harriet and I made a bunch of changes after you visited UT Arlington :) I need to take this chance to also fix an omission - I forgot to point out that these ideas are greatly influenced by (and in some cases directly copied from) many, many thinkers, bloggers, etc out there - in addition to the commentators here, there's Pete Smith, George Siemens, Stephen Downes, The "two Barbaras" as Pete calls them (Ganley and Sawhill), Chris Duke, Mark Taylor, and a bunch of others that are escaping my mind right now because I have the day off :) Maybe I can talk Pete in to hosting a summit for the crazy thinkers to get together and work together on ideas, pull resources, mix and match things, and take the education world by storm? But only if we can get Jim there, because let's face it, nobody stops the BAVA! Thanks for the comments everyone – here I was planning on taking the weekend off before traveling :)

They've been using BuddyPress on top of WPMu, and at UMW we've been using WPMu for the LMS parts (and much more) but have been trying to imagine how we can lay BuddyPress on top of that effectively in order to built a social frontend like you are suggesting here that pulls in peoples various identities from around the web they want to share. The tagging and re-syndication is pretty much a layup with feedwordpress and the sitewide tags pages plugin, and I've been holding off a little bit in order to get my head around the merge to WP 3.0 as well as the various possibilities for BuddyPress with a pre-existing community of 4000+ users and 3800+ blogs. We'll see if this Summer becomes one of experimentation and prototyping such a system, and if so I'll be following your work closely to compare notes.

One of the major challenges we're still working through with our open learning network model is the interface / portal. Your notion of an SLE is fantastic. I'm passing this along to our team to study as we consider the "hub," as you call it, for all of the pieces of the OLN. This is great stuff.
