NumBat

The proposed project will build on previous work to provide online learning materials to support numeracy across a wide range of subject areas in FE and HE. It is proposed to repurpose online numeracy resources built under the NuMBerS project (http://web.anglia.ac.uk/numbers) and use these as the basis of an innovative pilot site where users can access materials, rate their use and effectiveness, and have the option to upload materials and case studies. The project will test an online repository that is user-driven, allowing users to access different combinations of resources to build their own learning activities, to rate materials, and to contribute their own materials. The basis of this pilot will repurpose learning materials developed for the NuMBerS project, which comprises a series of online materials to support the use of numerical techniques. NuMBerS was developed initially for biosciences students, but has subsequently been shown to be applicable across a range of subject areas.

NumBat is exploring licensing; when this is settled CC licenses will be embedded into xhtml pages. More than one license likely to be required.

Jorum deposit: likely to deposit the 30 resources into Jorum as links; some concerns over currency of resources; some pdfs don't represent full OERs

new datasets (text or spreadsheet) will be able to be uploaded for use in the site. these can be added to the subject specific toolkit to create resources

resources will be marked up with metadata and site will gain a searchable interface.

Will probably use FELTAR's metadata choices to support maths resources being described in the same way

Granularity: resources are frequently in the form of technical 'how to' sheets that form basis of 30 credit module
