Hieraki – Hierarchical Wiki Software
http://www.hieraki.org/ Just one of those things that I stumbled across through a dedicated Google search feed; Hieraki is an open source, Ruby-based (hence the reason you’ve probably never heard of it; many who try Ruby seem to rave about it but it never seems to gain traction versus its competitors) wiki-like system that structures pages [...]
BCcampus selects The Learning Edge to power repository
http://www.bccampus.ca/Page514.aspx Early this year we went (back) out to RFP for software to power a ‘learning object repository’ for BCcampus. OpenSchool BC and the Alberta Online Consortium, both from the K-12 world, were also partners in the RFP. In May we reached a decision to go with The Learning Edge, an LCMS product from Australia. [...]
Open Source Means Just That
Those who know me personally know that the past year was a bit of an uphill struggle. In addition to battling my Crohn’s disease last year, I was the lead on a project to implement a learning object repository here in B.C. based on some code another university had created. The partnership did not work [...]
Edutech Mauritius
http://www.edutech.mu/ I remember having to go look up Mauritius on a map a few years back when I first heard about the learning object repository project that had started there (a PHP-based repository that looks to be steadily growing). Apparently not content to rest on their laurels for being the smallest (and one of the [...]
Infrae 'Railroad Repository' for Plone or Zope
http://www.infrae.com/products/railroad I am really not sure why I haven’t seen more of this, as the longer I look at the LOR problem the more sense it makes to me that ‘conventional’ repositories can be reasonably easily built on the back of existing (large and relatively stable) open source Content Management Systems. This comes as well [...]
PLANET Digital Repository
http://ants.etse.urv.es/planetdr/ On the surface just another repository project, but of interest to me because it is a current project from outside of Canada that seems to have picked up the Edusource Communications Layer (ECL) developed by Marek Hatala and others as part of the Edusource project. This is the second piece of information I’ve had [...]
University of Arizona's DLearn – DSpace-based LOR
https://www.dlearn.arizona.edu/index.jsp I have wondered out loud a few times whether anyone was attempting an LOR on top of DSpace. I got some lukewarm responses but nothing very concrete to back up DSpace’s own claims that it could be used as one. Today I stumbled across this – I don’t know for an absolute fact, but [...]
Celebrate Evaluation Report Available
http://www.eun.org/eun.org2/eun/en/ Celebrate_Relatedprojects/sub_area.cfm?sa=4688 In case you somehow overlooked it, CELEBRATE (Context eLearning with Broadband Technologies) has been a rather massive 30-month demonstration project (June 2002-November 2004) co-ordinated by European Schoolnet and supported by the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies Programme. It’s task was seemingly to examine all things ‘learning object’ to determine the extent to which [...]
CWSpace Poster at SPARC Institutional Repository Workshop
http://cwspace.mit.edu/docs/ProjectMgt/Reports/SPARC-IR-Workshop/sparc-poster.html Via a post on the Dspace-LOR mailing list by William Reilly of MIT comes mention of this poster concerning various content packaging methods for LOs. The poster was produced for use at the SPARC Institutional Repository Workshop by the CWSpace project, a project investigating the use of Dspace to archive MIT’s Open CourseWare materials. [...]
D-Lib Article – A Web Service Interface for Creating Concept Browsing Interfaces
http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november04/sumner/11sumner.html Some of you may have run across the VUE concept mapping application before. One of its promises is that it will allow you to create concept map interfaces to Fedora-based repositories. This recent D-Lib article describes a similar innovation, but in this case it is the introduction of a web service-based interface called “Concept [...]
