The document summarizes a paper about Cloudworks, a social networking tool for sharing learning designs. It was created to address challenges in getting teachers to share innovative teaching practices. The tool is based on principles of object-oriented social networking, where users are connected through shared "social objects" like designs. This approach aims to encourage user participation and contribution through a user-generated culture of sharing, as seen on sites like Flickr and YouTube. The document outlines the theoretical basis for considering learning designs as social objects and the framework used to guide Cloudworks' development.
