Blackboard has just announced its acquisition of Moodlerooms and Netspot, two companies that help provide support and deployment services for schools that use the open-source LMS Moodle. "Wait. What?" is an acceptable, albeit mild response. This is, after all, the LMS giant -- one that once claimed the patent on e-learning technology and sued other companies who provided competing software. Blackboard now says it is embracing open source -- "Ours is no mere dalliance with open source, but a very committed plunge into the pool," says the company's Ray Henderson. To that end, Blackboard has also announced it's creating an Open Source Services Group that will help institutions manage their open source LMSes, including Moodle and Sakai. Via Jose Murilo

"With the amount of information that is available on the internet, it's important for teachers to filter through websites to find relevant information in a timely manner. As a blogger, I believe we "curate" the web automatically to help keep things organized and to convey information in as detailed and easy a way as possible.
Now, with the addition of dedicated websites, people can curate the web and save information on their own while sharing this vital information with others."
Aggregation first, then curation follows.... Aggregation helps make sense of the overwhelming amount of information available and for me has proved to be an enormously rich learning experience. There are many tools to help with aggregation ...including the curation tools listed in this post (and Pearltrees seemed to be missing from the list) Great list for both teachers and students.
