George Siemens links to
Co-opting the creative revolution over at the BBC web site. He makes a great observation that most LMSs don't do a good job of seperating the centralized administration model with a distributed learning model. He says "Certain aspects of learning should be centralized (particularly enrolment), and others should be decentralized (interaction, content exploration, learner-created content (blogs, wikis), etc.)"
One partial solution that .LRN could provide is the
dotFolio concept where a learner receives a personal space to organize and share their learning experiences alongside the .LRN system.
