We should not forget the role of contexts. A main focus on content can be limitating. Besides content repositories (libraries in general), there should be a solution that gives context not only at a face to face level (classes) but also at an intranet level, giving the possibility to distribute these intranets to other communities. If we can exchange interactions too,why only focus on content? I'm thinking about a Learning Management System that allows exchanging published work with other communities. It could be done using a usb, taking a class portfolio (using Moodle pages for example - please see http://moodle.org) to another village. Distance collaboration can also be done in an asynchronous way, where each school has its page or set of pages in moodle, and it would work like standard mail, travelling by land to another school, kids contributing, commenting, peer-assessing, and then back again. --Jpsf 20:52, 29 January 2007 (EST)
- I couldn't agree more. Finding a way to share portfolios or even to have many classes working from similar portfolios (whose similarities can be traced back to the same basic project or idea) can be much more important than having a nice example to work with. We want to encourage asynchronous distance collaboration, since very few classes will have real synchrony. Sj talk 17:45, 1 February 2007 (EST)
