Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is from last year but I only saw it today and it still seems worth passing along, even if it is in large part marketing for Duke University (that's about as lukewarm an intro as I have ever written, I think, but this really is an interesting item). The article introduces Toolkits, Duke's application based on Internet2's Grouper. "Toolkits is a group management solution that allows course groups to be created once and then shared with integrated learning applications." The idea is that you create a course, then add the tools you want to use in the course from a 'Kits App Store'. Apps are integrated using the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) specification. You can find their code in their GitHub repository.
