I agree *completely* with steve - perhaps a special edu licencing engine that gives examples and suggestions is the best service to educators who can then make their own *informed* decision.

Exactly right, Heather.

To create one format, and apply it rigidly across all national boundaries, shoe-horning any, and all, cultural nuance encountered along the way into the rigid paradigm, would appear to be the very antithesis of what the project is all about.

Where's the open source sharing, and mutual enrichment, within that lack of environment?

If there's one unproductive aspect that has contributed to lack of learner acceptance within the traditional education environment, it's the rigid frame of presentation that stifles individual perception, limiting the new generation to the staid viewpoint of the old. Enforced by 'only-one-right-answer' examination requirements, fresh perception is slaughtered in its cot, and innovation is verboten.

Who knows what fresh slant on licensed presentation a tribal educator may supply to a British public school environment?

Give it half a chance.

Apologies to all those who thought I might have gone away.

Not.

Regards,

David Palmer.
