Looking at setting up aggregator to get RSS feeds into blog to provide update of latest resources in OpenJorum and other sources - this provides a more sustainable community view.

GeoCoding/ GeoTagging - GoogleEarth project marking items for upload. [I'm not sure of right term; standard in use by partners not known.]

Licensing: possible future issue if Ordinance Survey data used
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 12:02:08
Top three hoped for changes in JorumOpen: GEES don't appear at top level of any JACS codes, hoping that subject schemes are revisited; best practice scope notes on use of fields in upload tool; problem with link only records - only button 'export resource' sends you zipped link doesn't take you to resource ; page generally confusing
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:52:37
Tracking: considering adding to back page request for feedback; this presents an opportunity for qualitative information
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:50:26
Resource tracking and evaluation - not yet been able to address these issues beyond mechanisms in place at host repositories
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:48:35
Versioning: project has thought carefully about this- realise that you can't control verisoning beyond local; some reservations about how OER-licensed resources and versions work with sensitive/ rapidly changing topic
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:46:42
Versioning and duplicate copies: thought about multiple copies in many places but eventually decided to have stuff only in one place - some stuff in OpenJorum or in Institutional Repository
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:42:01
Due diligence and provenance data - if OER pursued legally and take down policy not enough - project considering how and where to keep this data - where does this go?
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:34:51
Licensing: project suggested to partners Office plugin for CC licenses (use not fully known)
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:33:54
Licensing and cover pages: included cover page and back page to resources with acknowledgement and detailed license info. Also encouraging partners to look encoding license information into images etc.
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:30:57
Licensing: complex licensing issues because of materials involved - some logos; some diagrams from publishers; resource under one license and elements of them under specific (restricted) licenses
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:25:02
Materials are well branded and polished - partners engaged institutions with benefits to institutional profile
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:24:00
Flickr and YouTube materials linked from powerpoints (as they're embedded in usable resources)
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:22:44
Granularity: producing polished coherent resources that learners can pick up and use (and that academics could use pieces of)
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:19:58
Jorum upload- so far using upload tool; this has been done by subject centre but this is now also being adopted by some partners directly
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:18:21
Partners have also been recording UKOER tag and GEESOER tag in their repositories
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:17:23
Looking at mechanism for partners to move metadata directly to OpenJorum
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:16:35
Partners Repositories Southampton - edshare ; OU Openlearn ; Keele - DSpace?
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:15:16
When originally using UPlaCe repository were basing metadata on Jorum's model
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:12:53
JorumOpen: no guidance about Author name ordering; best practice needed for browsing / searching
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:10:10
JorumOpen: Other fields that would be useful: resource type and education level (although limitations of edu level acknowledged)
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:09:10
JorumOpen: Concern over lack of date when resource made and associated institution (which is frequently the owner)
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:08:31
JorumOpen: Concerns over lack of guidance about how to fill in information into OpenJorum tool; lack of institutional field; noting people using fields in very different ways
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:06:49
As a project they aren't using a central repository. Project partners provide items/ links. Three using institutional repositories and three providing materials being uploaded directly to Jorum
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:03:05
Repurposing some older TLTP materials - seeing if they can become OERs; looking at two approaches and using Xerte for these
Posted by Johnr at 2010-03-25 11:01:57
Moved to JorumOpen as central repository; use of UPlaCe diminished; concern though about being able to showcase GEES specific content in JorumOpen
Posted by Johnr at 2009-10-26 16:51:04
Check what standards UPlaCe uses
Posted by Johnr at 2009-10-26 16:49:44
Release project?
Posted by Johnr at 2009-10-26 16:48:39
Support for Adobe Authorware remains a concern for the projects
Links, feeds, etc
