Opening Up: How to Enable Access to All Open Educational Resources (Room South 330H)

It seems EVERYONE is building an LOR — Learning Object Repository. And we mean everyone: states, districts, virtual schools and vendors. LORs are critical to delivering personalized Open Education Resources effectively to each student when and where they need it. But without LOR interoperability, schools, in effect, put open resources in closed repositories. Join us in this BYOD workshop to learn about IMS Global's initiative to establish the LOR interoperability standard and how this initiative will help your district in establishing an "open" LOR. You'll get hands-on with the back end of the OpenEd platform to test drive a standards-based LOR engine. You'll also discover critical design specifications and techniques you will need to build or select a repository that is right for your district.
