We are not setting out to create a technology 
framework from a blank page; instead, we 
are looking to efforts around the world to make sense of learning technologies. We have 
drawn upon the work of MIT Open Knowledge Initiative, Sun Microsystems E-Learning 
Framework, the UK e-University, the Carnegie-Mellon Learning Systems Architecture 
Laboratory, the IMS Global Learning Consortium and the JISC Managed Learning 
Environment and Information Environment programmes. We also believe that this 
framework should be constantly re-evaluated and evolved in response to outside 
developments that show promise.
