2 When we think about technology-enhanced learning in schools, many of us think that we drive in a bus like this 2

3 But, most likely our bus looks more like this Come on and Moodle DotLRN with me! 3

4 What brings us from here (*) Research => Critical Thinking, Ambition for Improvement, Methodology (*) Infrastructure, e.g. Content, Supplies, Hardware, Support, Structural Capital to there? 4

5 Methodology: Action Research 1. Design a Content Broker 2. Involve users early up-front 3. Prototype 4. Reflect current implementations 5. Implement & Improve Lindgren, R., Henfridsson, O., and Schultze, U. "Design Principles for Competence Management Systems: A Synthesis of an Action Research Study," MIS Quarterly (28:3) 2004, pp

6 New DotLRN Component: Share! Mediator Component for the exchange of learning resources Configurable Metadata Model: LOM, Dublin Core Configureable License Management Interfaces: SQI, OAI-PMH, Web Services, HTTP Post Open Source based Software Framework OpenACS / DotLRN Future: Social Software Features 6

7 Bildungspool with : Learning Resources Online Interoperable Systems: -AEIOU - Institut für Realienkunde - Bildungsserver Burgenland - EUN Learning Resource Exchange Soon to come: -BitmediaSBX - Mediathek 7

8 Preliminary finding: Balanced Metadata Model for Learning Resource Descriptions Simon, B., et al

9 Our Recipe 1. Starting points: LOM application profile of EducaNext LOM application profile of Bildungspool (Generation 1) 2. Design use case 3. Include elements required for use case 4. Exclude elements not required for use case 5. Exclude elements not used by users 6. Include elements required for interoperability (e.g. EUN LRE LOM Application Profile) Simon, B., Oberhuemer, P., and Kristöfl, R. "The Everlasting Dawn of Educational Brokers: A Search for Key Design Principles," in: Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Learning Object Discovery & Exchange (LODE'07), D.

10 Austrian Metadata Model for Schools Mandatory Fields: Identifier Title Language Author Publisher Location Learning Resource Type Level of Education *) Type of School *) Stage of Education *) Discipline *) Copyright and Other Restrictions *) Not mandatory for Assetts 10

11 Preliminary Finding: Users Want Their Home System Connected Simon, B., et al A Content Broker should not necessarily become an extra tool teachers need to register with Instead: Connect their Home System 11

12 Open Source AJAX Component for Sharing LRs - Architecture LRR UI P/C A P/C Learning Resource Repository User Interface Provider / Consumer Agent Provider / Consumer (= Mediator) 12

13 Open Source AJAX Component for Sharing LRs 13

14 Open Source AJAX Component for Submitting a Federated Search for LRs Source (objectspot): Fridolin Wild, Gustaf Neumann, Robert Koblischke, Stefan Sobernig, Steinn Sigurdarson, (all Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) Target Implementers: Andrej Afonin Anna Danielewska-Tułecka Antonio Tapiador Dariusz Górka Gürol Erdogan Jiří Vojtěšek Milda Ridikaitė Petr Doležel Radek Matušů Sandra Aguirre Tomáš Dulík Vahur Rebas 14

15 Live Demo 15

16 Preliminary finding: Support Collaboration! No Need for Rights Management Simon, B., et al Not needed in that form! 16

17 Rights Management for Open Content = Open Content License + Usage Tracking Providers don t care where their material goes, but would like to know who is using it Tracking is required in order to: report on the effectiveness of the brokerage infrastructure potential investigation of the correct application of the open content license attached to the material providing a first contact point for future collaboration 17

18 How can you contribute? Research Issues? Content Maintenance Strategies From Content to Collaboration Simple Publishing Interface Infrastructure Connect Home Systems to Mediators Share Content Fund Infrastructure and create structural capital 18
