OER APIs Greater Shareability
Edit / Translate.
Publish, Compile, Accredit Learning & PracticingTools
Transform
Repositories
Pluggability is hard to support, though
Authoring remixable OER is too hard right now
Make it easier•1) Grow the developer community solving the problem by providing API•2) Create an importer/editor that is as easy as Word.
OER Pluggability (Components)
Description
* Dublin Core, Learning Objects Metadata
* LRMI, Schema.org
* Paradata (description through deduction)
Discovery Methods
* OAI-PMH : Getting metadata about and locations of resources in repositories
* Embedding in web pages (rdfa, microdata)
Remixable Formats
* CNXML, OUXML
* Docbook, DITA, eLML, wikipedia rst
* HTML5 + microdata, EPUB3 + epub:type

Closing the Loop: Make publishing easy
Edit and translate and then publish to repositories.
Create tests and use questions from open banks.
Ecosystem tools convert and transform.
With simple publishing, new OER from big initiatives can be shared and remixed.

Next Steps – Building an OER editor
Engage developer community
Target HTML5 + Educational Semantics
Use just-in-time author training and smart context
Design to be easy to useand still create remixable OER
