Who creates services?
03-February-2006
permalink email thisA quick thought about Services oriented architectures in education. OK its not something that everyone is thinking about but if, like me, you come back from a series of meetings to find your electricity cut off, then strange things occupy your mind.
Anyway, I was in Birmingham, UK earlier this week working for the JISC e-learnng programme which is attempting to develop a Services Oriented approach for e-learning (for more on this see the JISC elearning programme web site).
It occurred to me that generally we have tended to envisage services being created by institutions or by institutional stakeholders (including teachers). The learners role is to consume services.
Taking on board social software and Web 2 ideas (to say nothing of modern pedagogies) - it may well be that learners will have a major role in the creation of services.
