Definitely a good idea to consider what has succeeded (or not) in the past. Sounds good Allan, thanks! Definitely a good idea to consider what has succeeded (or not) in the past.

I'd like to see the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative in this course. The DCMI has died down quite a bit over the past few years. When it first started, it had such promise. It was groomed to be the answer for the SemWeb. But alas, it doesn't seem like it's going to work out. Or will it? The course should explore what it is, what challenges it had faced in implementation, and why it ultimately didn't work. Since it was a child of librarians, there are implications to the role (and what we've learned from the DCMI) that librarians will play in the upcoming stages of the Web. Allan Melissa,

Other options I'm considering are the usual open source LMSs - Sakai, Moodle or a souped-up Drupal. Thanks Melissa, that site is new to me, it sounds like it could work for this project.

It's a very cool product that could use the content, since they're trying to get to critical mass.
