Giunti Labs acquires HarvestRoad
http://www.giuntilabs.com/info.php?vvu=15&pud=450 Increasingly I am focusing on things other than repositories (Amen!) but it still occupies some of my attention, so this news (even 3 months after the fact) still caught my eye.

dLCMS – Open Source LCMS built on Silva/Zope
http://www.dlcms.ethz.ch/ Ahhhh, love those Google searches. Whilst searching (and still seeking) information about the standards compliance of WebCT CE 6 content exports, I stumbled across this find, the dynamic Learning Content Management System.

In the afternoon we were given a demo [...]

The LCMS Council
“If you’re losing sleep over learning content management systems, here’s a resource that may help: LCMS Resource. I have some mixed feelings on the role of LCMS’ in elearning. If deployed within an organization, it makes sense…but learning objects (the things that LCMS’ manage) are apparently valuable because they are shareable and reusable. In that [...]
