I don’t mean to side-track the nature of this conversation (maybe I’m not), but as a developer in Higher-Ed arena I see a lot of potential for BP. There are a lot of buzz-words kicking around for the concepts of “open learning”: personal learning environments (PLE), communities of practice (COP), and these can be niche and community driven. I’m definitely in support of any ePortfolio endeavors as well. I would see these as being a series of plugins that rely on BP API, so that: Gradebook, Courses, DropBox could integrate with a user’s Activity Stream. Of course, granular levels of object permissions is ideal for users and admins. Great conversation!
