The idea as I understand it is to make it possible for teachers to build new tools, experiences, prompts, whatever for their students quickly, in response to inspiration or serendipity. It should be as easy to make as a handout--but unlike most handouts, it will be living and generative and interactive. Practical magic. I think it's a great idea, and I think you're right about learning objects. (I was inspired by Brian's talk too, but in a different direction--more on that soon.)
