Kathi Fletcher's Blog: Why Not NC (Non Commercial)
http://kefletcher.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-not-nc-non-commercial.html
Sunday, October 2, 2011. Why Not NC (Non Commercial). When creating and sharing educational content, one of the first things that author's (and their sponsors and funders) must think about are the circumstances under which others can use their work. I work with an open education project, Connexions ( cnx.org. Package it, market it, sell it, sell ancillary content and services based on the content, etc. Being one of the most popular. The restriction is quite natural and content producers gravitate tow...

Kathi Fletcher's Blog: Textbook writing sprint with K12 teachers in South Africa
http://kefletcher.blogspot.com/2013/09/textbook-writing-sprint-with-k12.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Textbook writing sprint with K12 teachers in South Africa. Although I have much more to share about this sprint and what we learned, I wanted to let people know about an exciting first outing of OERPUB's textbook editor. Screenshot of the editor (books stored in github). Mark Horner's post about the workshop. Colleen Henning: Realizing a Dream. September 25, 2013 at 7:21 PM. I think the editor is impressive, and the idea of saving content to a git repository is a neat one.

Kathi Fletcher's Blog: Linking to Objectives in the OERPUB editor (a prototype between MIT OEIT folks and OERPUB)

Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Linking to Objectives in the OERPUB editor (a prototype between MIT OEIT folks and OERPUB). Learning Objectives, Concept Maps. Image: By Sborcherding at en.wikibooks. When creating textbooks and interactive learning activities, wouldn't it be cool if authors (and eventually others) could easily link material to learning objectives? This is the second exploration that OERPUB. And MIT's Office of Educational Innovation and Technology ( OEIT. Should be looked up. Server to quer...

Kathi Fletcher's Blog: April 2013
http://kefletcher.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 26, 2013. Day 2 - Sprinting continues. A few people headed home after day 1, but we still had over 20 people sprinting on day 2. On Day 2, we continued to code and also had several design discussions on technology and APIs. On the ideas shared. After the discussion the VOER team headed home, and one of the Connexions developers started refactoring current code to match the new shared vision. I hope this gives a flavor for the cross-pollination that happens at sprints; conventions agreed upo...

Tuesday, September 24, 2013. More about the Textbook Editor. In my last post I talked about a textbook sprint with teachers. In South Africa, remixing their own content with Siyavula and Connexions textbooks. The teachers worked with our textbook editor that automatically creates EPUBs (for mobile viewing), saves textbooks to github for sharing and repurposing, and supports mathematics and textbook features like notes, examples, equations, and homework problems. Textbook Editor Demo (Chrome only). I have...

Happy reading (the intro blog post). Links to this post. Sunday, January 27, 2013. This vi...

Sunday, December 9, 2012. Principles of Remixable OER. For the past six months the OERPUB team has been working on an editor for remixable open education resources (OER). We are embedding the editor within a workflow that supports first converting documents created in popular formats (Word, Open Office, Google Docs, Blogs, LaTeX), then editing them, and finally publishing to repositories for OER. Authors should be able to publish their content in open repositories, institutional repositories, learning ma...

Monday, April 30, 2012. A really productive student developer. Max Grossman has worked with my project as a student programmer since January and accomplished a great deal! He starts graduate school next year and hopes to continue working with the project. He has been working on our importer/editor. You can see an alpha version at cnx.oerpub.org. The tool is designed to be extensible to publishing to other repositories (libraries of content) as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on twitter.
