Flex for Learning Integration, Visualization and Actualization 

These are exciting times for learning & talent management systems and for Adobe Flex. A few weeks ago at LMS 2007, Elliott Masie addressed what he saw as the powerful potential of Flex for visualization of enterprise learning and human performance information. As a follow-up, the Masie Center is working with Learning Consortium members and vendors to create a powerful proof-of-concept that demonstrate web services integration of enterprise applications. This proof-of-concept project will demonstrate how applications like HR, LMS/LCMS, ERP, CRM can be integrated for a "performance dashboard" to visualize related information from these systems, and even allow for taking action that spans applications.

Now, weeks after kicking-off this project Adobe has announced that Flex will become open source, over the course of 2007, under the Mozilla Public License.

May you live in interesting times.

Interesting times, indeed. Flex dashboards are slowly making more of an appearance in the 850+ collection of implemented BI dashboards in my collection of dashboards. There are about a dozen or so - the interactivity they offer is unmatched. The number has been limited I believe due to the costs involved. Thanks for bringing the open-source announcement to my notice.

How would technologies like Ruby on Rails and Flex work together?
