- Just a clarification 2009-09-11
- Thanks for the post and for putting the images together. Great stuff.
I would just say that, as I work for a central IT Department, it has been my experience at several universities that it is not IT departments that buy monolithic VLEs "as evidence that they 'offer online learning'"....

- I just found new service www.Mecanbe.com - sounds like a great concept. According to the site it's "a free service that helps individuals or groups track goals, evaluate performance and measure ongoing progress."

- Is there a middle way between ad-hoc tagging and controlled metadata vocabularies?

- Desire2Learn have posted a 3.5M printable PDF of the patent with figures (together with the complaint against them) 2006-08-06
- Desire2Learn have set up a special patentinfo weblog in which they've posted documentation about Blackboard's suit against them and also about the patent in general. They include a printable PDF which combines the patent text and figures with the 4-page complaint against them.

- Thanks Mike 2006-08-04
- I don't track patents so this was news to me. Incredible! The stupidness of software patents. I bet BB can't believe their luck.
Do you recall the BT Hyperlink Patent? There was a great quote in the subsequent Wired article that might apply to 'autonomous VLEs' (such as KNotes for example)...

- 41 figures from the Blackboard patent (and some other resources) 2006-08-04
- Blackboard's patent (US Patent 6,988,138, Alcorn et al Jan 17, 2006) is online at patft.uspto.gov but the figures are hard to get at there. I wanted to read the patent, so I downloaded and organised all the figures. Here they are as a shared resource if you also want to read it - links to Flickr set and slideshow and to a zip full of TIFFs.

- An interesting conversation about 'users doing other things' starting in Graham Attwell's blog 2006-06-24
- Graham Attwell, in the wales-wide-web, notes a point that came out of a phone conversation we had this morning - that in the real-world users are almost always doing 'other things' when they come to use a bit of software. I've added a few more thoughts on the matter in a reply to his blog entry.

- ... or perhaps we should leave the box closed 2006-06-20
- Some good thoughts here Mike - the only thing I would add is that perhaps we should consider leaving the lid of the box closed for fear of changing the state of web 2.0 as a truely learner centred learning environment ;-) - www.interactlms.org/blogs/post/1/106

- In case you're wondering about 'omni-graffle clouds' :-) 2006-05-31
- I ended the position paper with an allusion to ' the potential we see represented in those pretty omni-graffle clouds'. This explains what omni-graffle clouds are :o)
