Locate, Collate and Aggregate

A session of the JISC CETIS Conference 2010

Facilitated by: Phil Barker and Lorna Campbell

Tuesday 16 November, 9am-1pm.

Innovative technical approaches related to (but not exclusively) the OER programme which are applicable to finding, using and managing content for teaching and learning, including:
 * Building collections of OERs.
 * Drawing together information about learning resources
 * Building rich descriptions from disparate sources of information

The technical approaches that in mind included RSS aggregation and techniques similar to podcasting, presentation of resources through novel interfaces such as timelines and maps using geolocation data; representation of relationships between resources, using for example OAI-ORE; cross search, upload and metadata harvesting through the use of third party host APIs. We would welcome participation from current and past OER projects and others working in teaching and learning resource management.

Key audiences: anyone interested in innovative use and management of teaching and learning resources
