I am best known, no doubt, for my criticism of education technology. Often when I say that I think that the “Domain of One’s Own” initiative is one of the most important education technologies, I always hear pushback from the Twitter riffraff. But they’re expressly trends that should concern us as educators.

For those who don't, the institutional VLE (or sadly, no web based use at all) is an alternative. This may sound like a climb down from my position on the death of the VLE, but It is not. Certainly not the VLE. It is this: Not everyone has the skills to use, or is willing to use personal web tools. Unported License.

There is also a belief that, just as the music industry of the late 1970s was stagnating, so the education system of the early 21st Century is in need of a reboot. Punk rock revitalised the 70s music scene and, say its adherents, Edupunk can do the same today with our tired education system. Unported License.

It can also be a virtual classroom tool or a virtual learning environment (VLE). With the Internet and digital technology becoming an integral aspect of our lives, education too, has gone online, mandating specialized technology solutions to support online learning. Some find it easier to focus in the evening or at night.

Ah, the learning management system ( LMS ) ( VLE to some people). For now I’m struck by how powerful a role the LMS still plays in educational technology, how deeply it is embedded in our enterprises and thinking, and how many diverse issues and trends it activates. I’ve been tracking it since the 20th century.

In education, the common objective is usually to learn specific content, skills or competencies within defined areas. You could see where we might place formal learning using a VLE, or where students might meet to chat using Facebook, for example. Collaboration is where two or more people work together to achieve a common objective.

The institutional learning platform - the VLE - is a classic case of decisions made about learning without consulting the learner. How can we reach a place in education where students find their own level and make their own pathways through learning? Deleuze and Guattari's 1980 publication A Thousand Plateaus might offer us some clues.

Many of the other commercially available LMS (learning management systems) and VLE (virtual learning environment) platforms aren’t doing any better. But to use technology effectively education establishments have to approach online learning with their eyes open. And of course Moodle isn’t the only culprit. It isn’t a cheap solution.

For some time, educators have been subverting established methods and turning their backs on institutional tools and technologies such as the managed learning environment (also known as LMS or VLE). I would argue that these are 'punk' educators, whether they realise it or not. But punk educators need to be wary of a precedent.
