Open Learning Networks
http://ineducation.ca/
excerpt about: articles and reviews of works that explore ideas in teacher education, as well as broader and more inclusive discussions in education. We envision works that augment the latitude and significance of the idea of education, while acknowledging the ubiquitous growth of the digital arts and sciences in the everyday practice of life and how that might (in)form notions of formal and informal education.

the first article in the first issue, the case for Open Learning Networks, provides the rational and research behind the teaching style that I just blundered into, by intuition. I moved the RFK library pages into the cloud in 2007 and began student assignments in the cloud in the 2008 summer session, continuing that fall. The RFK infrastructure at Google persists to this day (unfortunately I left prior to full transfer to teachers). Some of the newer operating systems coming down the pike for netbooks (Chrome OS, Jolicloud, Moblinux, Android) will really lend themselves to this model. The article goes deeper into functional partitioning which would be needed to implement on any kind of scale.
Happy New Year...rocky
