  • LAMS with Moodle
  • Sakai - Production learning portal by university consortium.
  • Learning Design - This framework is gaining a lot of steam. Actors perform Activities using Resources. Simple but helpful.
    • [Defining Collaborative & Multi-Role Learning Experiences using
      the IMS LD specification|http://dspace.ou.nl/handle/1820/285]
  • eLearning Standards (an article)
  • SCORM - Sharable Content Object Reference Model
    • Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF)
    • IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (IEEE LTSC)
  • LOM - Learning Object Metadata
  • LON-CAPA
  • Navigo - Navigo is an open source framework designed to create a next-generation online assessment service for higher education institutions. Navigo is based on the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) and the IMS Global Learning Consortium's Question and Test Interoperability (IMS QTI) specification.
  • Connexions - Sharing Knowledge and Building Communities
  • CopperCore - a new Learning Design engine
  • OpenVES - education portal trying to work with Concord. Sounds very well designed but not used much in practice. Uses open source components, but glue holding components together is not open.
  • Eduplone - Learning Design built on Plone
  • ToonTalk - a concurrent constraint programming language for authoring
  • NetLogo - a Logo adaptation for modeling networked systems, e.g. cellular automata (free but not open)
  • BlockModel - modeling on iPaqs (by CC, see also probes review)
  • Agile Mind - came and talked to Concord. Their focus is teacher professional development. They have "units" for teachers to work through and an authoring environments for groups to make and revise these "units".
  • ENLVM nsf funded project for mixing math applets with content and embedded assessments.
  • Tom Snyder comercial group selling education software that includes teacher reports on student work using only a file server.
  • EduTools A great resource for comparing course management systems (includes sakai, .dotlrn, moodle, ..)

The WILD project started, at least, with a focus on wireless devices in the classroom. But it looks like there are interesting spin-offs that we should know about. For instance, the ClassSync Modeling Language paper says "The
ClassSync Modeling Language (CML) addresses the problem of creating a controlling overlay to classroom learning activities, or e-learning workflows. ... CML models e-learning workflows with three major components: actors, data objects, and interaction networks ...".
