MOOCs, blogs and WIKIs

OK, having been to a fascinating session at Bedford University regarding the Creative Use of Digital Technologies in Education and meeting some very interesting and inspiring people, I am playing at building a MOOC.

Now, it seems to me that where I anticipated some specific software like Moodle', it is simply a use of  several available technologies which I would feel needs a front end which is accessible and attractive.  This could be managed via a fairly simple Dreamweaver page.  Links could take the user to Blog and Wiki entries and then hopefully lead them onward to more in depth information before returning to specific areas with a contribution such as a blog or WIKI entry, photos on flickr, video on youtube and posts on a facebook page - tweets on twitter.

If anyone has any hints and tips to put me on the right trail, they will be welcomed most warmly.
