Brief Update on SOL*R
- 800+ resources and growing
- Better reporting now in place
- Authors have always been able to get numbers on a per resource basis, but we can also report by Institution (and by the Institutions of the Users reusing resources)
- Coming Soon (we promise!)
- Will include a number of OAI-harvested partner sites (e.g. COPPUL's ANTS collection)
- Integration with UBC Flash Timeline Tool
- Way for public to request access from owner to BC Commons-licensed content (and way to opt-out)
SOL*R as LCMS Service, Equella Pilots
- Possibility of Using SOL*R/Equella for internal learning content management needs
- Royal Roads Pilot
- Possibility of Using SOL*R for discipline-based groups, inter-institutional collaborations
- cf. ALPS example - http://www.eln.bc.ca/irl/
- this is also an example of how we can create different front ends to SOL*R/Equella
Other Ways SOL*R May be of Service
- RSS feeds
- Easy way to stay abreast of new content, can be keyword-drive or generic
- Easy way (via things like [Feed2JS]) to embed links to new resources
- LMS Integrations (WebCT, Blackboard, Moodle, Angel)
- cf. http://tinyurl.com/yq3rxx for example of WebCT CE6 integration
- THIS WIKI - a place to document and share grassroots best practices for content interoperability and migration
Introducing New OER Site
- http://freelearning.bccampus.ca/
- Does one thing only - provide simple way to search for Open Educational Resources and Open Textbooks
- Created as a (low cost/low effort) way to raise awareness in BC for both BC-based and global OER
- We can easily create one of these for you, to maintain on your own or else to re-brand but with the same back-end engine
