Wordle: OERhack1

last time I counted we had a little over 250 tweets.

Once we take ‘OERHack’ and RT out of the picture we see:

Wordle: Oerhack 3

250 tweets isn’t that many for 2 days and ~40 people but that’s cause everyone was busy

Beforehand the event we had some discussions on blogs.

OER Hack day Wiki

Ideas that we outlined but didn’t develop fully:

  • PORSCHE thoughts
  • Document Import/Export Service
  • OER Playlist picker
  • Additions to OERbit
  • Prototyping a new OERca

Things that got hacked (and more or less documented)

  • Extend the utility of WordPress as a host / presentation vehicle for OER collections.
  • Bookmarking tools for OER
  • Generating Paradata from mediawiki pages
  • Hacking a Google CSE for course directories
  • Metadata Extraction Tools
  • SWORD desktop app
  • Email-based deposit plugin for SWORD
  • JS widget to Wookie widget (Jorum and OER Recommender)

These are described in more detail on the wiki as well as some notes about other things we tested and a useful list of wordpress plugins for learning resources. A fuller write-up about the event will be forthcoming but we (CETIS OERTIG, UKOLN DEVCSI, and everyone else) had a productive, fun, and busy two days.
