 * design patterns - ''A important aspect of design patterns is to identify and document the key ideas that make a good system different from a poor system (which may be a house, a computer program or an object of daily use), and to assist in the design of future systems. The idea expressed in a pattern should be general enough to be applied in very different systems within its context, but still specific enough to give constructive guidance.

I was a regular participant in the early days of the eLearning Forum so I have seen Jay Cross and that group working through these issues. I'm surprised that LMSs are still seen as a requirement.
