Trent Batson has some good things to say about Desire2Learn’s new ePortfolio system (www.desire2learn.com). As usual he has some interesting thoughts about general systems:
An even more fundamental problem with educational software built as an enterprise system is that no one chooses to use them for fun. This kind of system does not connect with the social energy around using interesting applications. They are the equivalent of very large textbooks.

Obviously, Trent Batson has not ever experienced Scholar360 - an LMS like Desire2LEarn that includes a secure social network, communities, and Web 2.0 tools. Use of all these tools builds collaborative environments for academic purposes, connects students with anyone else in the network, AND enables schools to provide a place for them to have fun!
