This is one of those 'debates' live the ones they have on TV, where everybody involved comes from the same side. So of course there was "broad agreement" that while "a single institutional monolith is unlikely to find favour with most learners (students, teachers, administrators)... neither is the completely disaggregated approach of consuming feeds produced by a wide range of tools using an equally wide range of PLE components." Having just completed a course that amounts to such a disaggregated approach, I am left questioning this broad agreement.
