Future VLE

Scott Wilson's Work blog

I am sure there will be many, many links to this picture by Scott Wilson envisaging what a future VLE might look like. The interesting thing is although it is a 'future VLE' almost all of the software exists. Another point is how it uses web based standards - a lot less complicated than the LOM and similar such things.

But most fascinating for me is Scott's short comment under his picture:

"btw, Neither LearnDirect nor Bolton provide these sorts of services yet, but like most other learning providers they probably could do if they were sufficiently motivated. Most of the other services do exist (if only in alpha form or requiring transformation at the other end)."

So the question remains - how do we motivate Bolton Institute and LearnDirect to provide these sorts of services? Why are they not motivated.
