A Weblog Learning Management System

This article (and Part Two) describes the concept of creating a learning management system (LMS) using weblogging technology. Citing Dave Davies, who he notes has also developed a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) using Manila, the author points to the capacity of a weblog system to empower student voices and create a genuine learning community. I think the diagram is a good first step, but we need to go further; community is only one aspect of learning, not the entire story. That said, this is absolutely the direction to look for in learning technology of the future. Think learning environments, not learning management, and you'll be on the right track.
