The primary purpose of this paper is to explore potential interactions between information environments and learning environments, with emphasis on work that needs to be done involving standards, architectural modelling or interfaces in order to permit these two worlds to co-exist and evolve more productively. The emphasis here is on mapping the territory at a relatively superficial level, to identify questions and issues and to make some suggestions about what groups might most usefully undertake work in the various areas.
