    Right on:
    “[a closed] LMS doesn’t offer you much value when you’re done. You use it, you finish the courses and it stays behind.”

    Give students something extensible. Something they can take with them.

    I have used a combination of LMS (blackboard, D2L, WebCT…) with course web pages I created and public freeware (yahoo groups…). I agree that using social networking ware like twitter or for more in depth conversations, blogs, helps to create a more open environment and invites longer term involvement with the subject matter.
