OERu/Planning/Technology working group
From WikiEducator
Aims
- accommodate the needs and desires of the course development workgroup
- maintain scalable, secure, cost-effective infrastructure for collaborative course authoring and delivery
- interoperate with partner institution legacy systems, ideally federating similar systems
- share open data formats, sources, and services to the greatest extent possible
- deliver content in a variety of formats, including mobile (maintain separation between content and rendering)
- implement solutions for customised local branding and theming of shared content resources
- adapt to the increased importance of audio and video
Objectives
- Define what a "community source model" would actually look like on the ground, what people could expect from it incorporating technology priorities and gaps we need to fill.
