Overview

The EduSharing Integration feature allows for the seamless export of educational exercises to the Edu-Sharing repository at the University of Innsbruck. This integration ensures that exercises are searchable and accessible through the OERHub, which aggregates educational resources from various repositories throughout Austria.

Purpose

The main purpose of the EduSharing Integration is to enhance the discoverability of educational resources. By exporting exercises to the Edu-Sharing repository, these resources become part of a centralized search platform, OERHub, making it easier for educators and learners to find high-quality open educational resources (OER).

How It Works

The EduSharing Integration involves several key steps:

  1. Exporting Exercises: Publishers of educational exercises can find an "Export to UIBK Edu-Sharing" button within the user interface of the sharing platform.
  2. Review Process: Once an exercise is exported, it undergoes a review process to ensure it meets the standards and alignment requirements of Edu-Sharing.
  3. Standards Compliance: Exercises must be licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 4.0 or CC0 to be eligible for publication.
  4. Publication and Revisions: Once published, exercises cannot be retracted. Any updates are handled as revisions and listed accordingly.
  5. Synchronization and Discovery: Upon successful review, the exercises are synchronized with the OERHub, making them searchable and accessible.

Technical Details

  • Export Button: The export functionality is integrated into the UI, allowing publishers to export their exercises directly to the Edu-Sharing repository.
  • Review Workflow: The review process involves checking the educational resource for compliance with Edu-Sharing standards and ensuring proper licensing.
  • Synchronization: Publishers can decide which and when an exercise should be exported to Edu-Sharing
