From today’s post-work random-eLearning-web-walk:
I’ve always been interested in the LAMS (Learner Activity Management System) project, a sort of “visual learning design” approach to building learning activities …maybe we should call the new platform we’re building here at AAU SLAMS, for Social Learning Activity Management System??? 
Below are some resources on this European-based effort (sadly, I haven’t seen much uptake here in the States):

Will Richardson is a high-school teacher turned edublogger and consultant that I had on my Milken Conference panel from 2 years ago. He’s parlayed a post-teaching second career to become a big voice in the “personal learning environment” (PLE) and social learning platform movement. Here’s a link to his 12-step recipe for building a social learning platform (using Drupal as the technology):

Updated: Oops, thanks to some sloppy linking, my pointer above refers not to Will Richardson who runs Weblogg-ed, but to another fine edublogger out at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland Oregon.
And in the participatory eLearning space, there’s “LearnHub” (all Ajax-y, built on Ruby On Rails; headed by two Toronto-based entrepreneurs with funding by India-based Educomp Solutions Ltd.): http://learnhub.com/about
