Though the point of this article is to formulate an information systems design theory for e-learning, I'm more interested in the properties of an emergent university e-learning system described in the middle of the post. David T. Jones writes that "an emergent university e-learning system should:
-- Provide a method or methods for packaging and using necessary e-learning services from a variety of sources and of a variety of types.
-- Provide numerous ways to enable different packages to interact and integrate.
-- Provide a packaging mechanism that allows for a level of independence and duplication.
-- Provide an initial collection of services that provide a necessary minimum of common e-learning functionality
-- Focus on packaging existing software or services for integration into the system
-- Present this collection of services in a way that for staff and students resembles a single system.
-- Minimise disruption to the user experience of the system."
