For a long time I’ve been asked about available open source learning object repositories, and specifically about whether DSpace<\/a> could work as a LOR. My answer regarding DSpace, up to now, has always been – well it depends on what your use cases are. If you didn’t care about things like IMS Content Packages and learning object metadata, then sure, maybe<\/em> it could work, but it always seemed like a stretch, that those asking the question were looking to adopt a system because of its license but not because of its functionality.<\/p>\n

In this regards, I had always held out some hope on the CWSpace project<\/a>. As I have mentioned before<\/a>, CWSpace is a project looking to archive the educational materials found in MIT OpenCourseWare using DSpace technology, and in so doing provide a valueable extension in functionality to DSpace itself.<\/p>\n

With the presentation above it looks like they are making some progress – it details how they plan to deal with two major issues, mapping OCW’s object model to DSpace’s object model, and improving the interfaces to DSpace to make them more conducive to working with living (not archived) materials. NOTE: this presentation really only useful for standards geeks and other interoperability weenies (like myself, I guess). Not for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear to me whether they are shipping code yet for this, but it is still encouraging to see some progress, and for me really encouraging to see the library\/institutional repository crowd take seriously the differences between their standard use cases and the ones from the LOR world; a big step forward from the red flag that’s been waving from the DSpace site for years<\/a> claiming it can accomodate ‘learning objects’ (whatever that meant). – SWL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
