We are following a new trend that is combining Learning Management Systems with Web 2 technology such as social networking, e-portfolios, wiki's, etc. There is an excellent post by David Delgado of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain describing his vision of these Personal Learning Environments.

One of our clients, The Center for 21st Century Skills, is a leader in this arena and we are supporting the ELGG–Moodle Personal Learning Solution they are using in high schools in Connecticut.

Solution Grove wants to help other organizations utilize these ideas by creating and supporting a replicable and brandable Moodle-ELGG-LAMS solution with single sign-on and integrated student registration. Look for a demo site in January.

Meanwhile, if these sorts of solutions are interesting for you, consider presenting at or attending the ePortfolio conference, ePortfolios: Breakthroughs and Quandaries, on March 28th, 2008 in CT.
