Learning is Change

What I'm Learning: Bloggers Circle

Really interesting Concept for creating a community of writers within a wordpress environment.

WordPress › Bloggers Circle « WordPress Plugins:

 

“Similar to a traditional writers circle, but with a work-flow optimized for bloggers. This helps you get and give constructive criticism of your drafts, without annoying your friends.

Creative writing is surprisingly hard, and it takes time and patience to become a better writer. By both receiving and giving criticism, we can use this tool to become better writers faster.”

What I'm Learning: Tools at Schools

This is just too cool.

Tools at Schools:

“Design studio aruliden, together with Bernhardt Design, conceived Tools at Schools as an initiative to teach eighth graders the value of design as a problem-solving tool at The School at Columbia University. Forty-four eighth grade students were immersed in the entire design process, from research to ideation to 3D modeling and ultimately launch. What started as a simple effort to get involved in the community grew into a much larger realization that design has a role in the classroom. Their success was not only in their concepts, but in the awareness each student gained in the process. The result was a collaborative vision of today’s classroom – designed for kids by kids.”

So, I have this idea. I need some help, though.

 

So, I have this idea. I need some help, though.

I would like to create (or find, if it already exists) a site that would allow for me (and others) to create content pages (with links, files, and perhaps even elearning modules) and then allow others who visit the site to select items that have been created and add them to a “shopping cart”.

Then I would like to allow people to “check out” of the site, and in doing so, reorder their items so as to create a learning path through all of the items they have selected.

The last step would be to save or download this learning path as the “check out” button. Ideally, they could save their learning paths to a profile for later use (i.e., going through the path where they could check items off as they went).

Does such a thing exist? Where should I be spending my time in creating it? Thanks to anyone who passes the idea on to someone else as well.
