•We think of web-based education as based
on a set of distributed educational objects manipulated by a learning
management system (LMS)
•This is already a little flaky as
better to think of objects and services on those objects
•Further support for authoring of objects
is critical and this does not seem to be addressed very well
–webMC illustrates this difficulty very
well as its major contribution is to authoring
•However we can usefully study/use
standards understanding that they are not complete
