    Jon said "I wrote a post last year exploring the spider-starfish tension between Personal Learning Environments and institutionally run CMSs. This is a fundamental challenge that institutions of higher learning need to resolve. On the one hand, we should promote open, flexible, learner-centric activities and tools that support them. On the other hand, legal, ethical and business constraints prevent us from opening up student information systems, online assessment tools, and online gradebooks. These tools have to be secure and, at least from a data management and integration perspective, proprietary. So what would an open learning network look like if facilitated and orchestrated by an institution? Is it possible to create a hybrid spider-starfish learning environment for faculty and students?"

    Great diagram showing which parts of the system should belong in 'the cloud', and which should remain under lock and key in the institution.

    • The diagram below is my effort to conceptualize an “open (institutional) learning network.”
      • There are components of an open learning network that can and should live in the cloud:


        • Personal publishing tools (blogs, personal websites, wikis)
        • Social networking apps
        • Open content
        • Student generated content
        • Student Information Systems
        • Secure assessment tools (e.g., online quiz & test applications)
        • Institutional gradebook (for secure communication about scores, grades & feedback)
        • Licensed and or proprietary institutional content
