Dear Pablo:
Many thanks for your reply! The call for proposals seems to be targeting universities, and our university is interested in the specific problem of exploring university-wide implementations, but I also think that, as Van Weigel argues, that the orientation of students using lms systems might be significantly enhanced by oriented them towards the professional/corporate applications and practices (knowledge management) that, presumably, lie directly in the student's futures. Al's recent post on the customization of Dotlrn for Harvard (and from what I hear, the use of Dotlrn by BP and others) suggests that much is to be learned from the professional context. It might be an interesting angle to explore LMS design and use in the universities in this respect. For the moment, however, I have the problem of finding university partners, and if you any advice on this I'll be grateful!
Thanks!
Bruce
