OER Bookmarking Tools

An idea from the CETIS UKOLN OER Hack Days

A bookmarking tool to allow people working with online education resources to collate and organise resources and store basic metadata as well as search for existing resources. Publisher/owner and license information will also be captured. The tool will output RSS and allow users (SMEs, lecturers, trainers etc) to subscribe to a feed based on user-generated tags. There's a (browser) bookmarklet for quick access that automatically captures title, URL and license information.

Using: django basic apps, JQuery

Uses OAuth for authentication and you can login with Twitter account.

Required fields for OER metadata?
 * Title, Description, URL, Date added, Last modified,Tags/keywords, Publisher, Author, License
