Co-operative Learning Object Exchange (CLOE)

This is a group of Canadian universities, where most of the work is being done, publicized work anyway. It's a group of 17 universities combining efforts to solve educational problems.

The key innovation in CLOE is the creation of a virtual market economy for engaging multimedia to support online learning. Each institution will develop multimedia learning resources to address instructional challenges shared by the other partners.

Now I don't know exactly what that means but I believe it borders on people supplying pieces of information on elearning in an open environment, a little archaic given the blogger society taking place, but they have the right idea and probably more resources than most of the blogging circles.

When I go and look at the docs though, none of them revolve around learning objects or advanced multimedia. There are a lot of .doc's and .ppt's. Some of the topics discussed seem relevant but follow the guidleines you are trying to create.
