<p>Ahrash: </p> <hr /> <div>{{CcLearn FAQ<br /> |Question=OER are unlikely to be as high-quality, or gain acceptance with the State standards boards, so it is safer to avoid them, don’t you think?<br /> |Document=Open Educational Resources and Creative Commons Licensing, Increase Funding Impact<br /> |Target audience=administrators<br /> |Tag=OER, state standards<br /> |Answer=Absolutely not. There is no inherent conflict between OER, alignment with state standards (or any other standards), and quality. Indeed, because OER can be updated and improved upon by anyone, it is most likely that OER will be of higher quality than existing, proprietary resources. If you find an OER that can be improved upon, you should do it! Look at the entry on [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/I_would_like_to_use_OER_in_my_classroom,_but_I_cannot_afford_to_use_materials_that_are_not_reconciled_with_my_state_standards._Are_there_any_OER_available_for_which_this_has_been_done%3F alignment with state standards] for more information regarding finding OER that are so-aligned. We are in a time of transition, so while the OER you desire may be difficult to find now, we believe that it will only be a short time from now that the quantity and quality of OER available to teachers and learners around the world will vastly exceed that of closed resources. And you can help to get us there!<br /> }}</div>

These ''curators'' either create or aggregate educational resources and maintain information about them.<br /> <br /> Curators include [http://www.oercommons.org/ OER Commons], [http://www.cnx.org Connexions], [http://www.ocwconsortium.org/ the Open Courseware Consortium (OCWC)], [http://nsdl.org/ the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)], among others.

Simply type your query into the search box and hit &quot;Search.&quot; Multiple words are automatically joined with &quot;and,&quot; thus only returning resources containing every word.<br /> <br /> You can also refine your search after you have entered an initial query by clicking on the magnifying glass next to one of the terms you see beneath each result. For example, if a resource is listed which has a CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) license, you can click on the magnifying glass and the search will re-run your same query, but this time it will limit the results to only those resources that have a CC BY license.<br /> <br /> To refine your search using the subject tags, simply click on any tag and the search will re-run the original query and that tag. Note that there may be more subject tags available - look for the small &quot;+&quot; button on the left side: clicking the &quot;+&quot; will show all of the tags.<br /> <br /> === Incorporating DiscoverEd on your own site ===<br /> <br /> You can always link to DiscoverEd from your own site. If you would like DiscoverEd to include resources from a curator that is not included, send us a note and we will endeavor to include the new resources.<br /> <br /> You can also [http://discovered.creativecommons.org/widget/ embed the DiscoverEd widget] into your site so that users of your site can type search queries into the search box directly on your site.<br /> <br /> We also encourage people to create customized user-interfaces for DiscoverEd. You may change the look, name, and feel of DiscoverEd however you would like. For the greatest degree of control, you might want to install your own instance of DiscoverEd. Contact us if you are interested.<br /> <br /> == How can I help? ==<br /> <br /> Tell your friends! Put it on your own educational site! Send us feedback! DiscoverEd is still a prototype, which means that we could use all of the feedback we can get. The more that people use DiscoverEd and tell us what they like or don't like, the more likely we will be able to make improvements that work. <br /> <br /> If you're a producer or curator of educational resources and would like to be included in the search, contact [[User:Ahrash_Bissell|Ahrash Bissell]] or [[User:Nathan_Yergler|Nathan Yergler]].

<p>Ahrash: /* [X]HTML + RDFa */</p> <hr /> <div>{{lowercase}}<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> This document outlines some of the metadata ccLearn is utilizing for the [[DiscoverEd]] project. These metadata are collected from embedded [[RDFa]] at crawl time. We also look for these metadata in feeds (RSS, Atom) and OAI-PMH harvests, although these are considered as a way to bootstrap the metadata corpus. While the metadata store may include additional information from resources, these fields are exposed by default in the search results.<br /> <br /> * '''Title''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-title DCT:title]&lt;/code&gt;): A brief descriptive title for the resource.<br /> * '''Summary''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-description DCT:description]&lt;/code&gt;): A relatively short summary or synopsis of the resource.<br /> * '''License''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-license DCT:license]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;[http://creativecommons.org/ns cc:license]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/ xhtml:license]&lt;/code&gt;): The URL of the work's license; e.g., &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> * '''Education level''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-educationLevel DCT:educationLevel]&lt;/code&gt;): What grade(s) or age-level(s) this material is suitable for.<br /> * '''Language''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace xml:lang]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-language DCT:language]&lt;/code&gt;): The language(s) of the referenced resource (not of your site).<br /> * '''Subject''' (&lt;code&gt;[http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-subject DCT:subject]&lt;/code&gt;): The subject(s) of the resource; e.g., math.<br /> <br /> '''Our preferred and suggested metadata encoding/transport is XHTML+[[RDFa]]. We believe this has the broadest possible exposure for current and future software agents.'''<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> <br /> == Vocabulary ==<br /> <br /> === Specifying Subject ===<br /> <br /> The subject refers to the actual content in the resource; i.e., what is this resource ''about''? For many resources, more than one subject will be necessary; in this case, specify multiple subject elements. We ask that you try to limit the contents of the subject to only those subjects that are objectively reflective of the entire resource. Other types of categories (opinions, metrics, etc) may have other vocabularies available which are more appropriate. <br /> <br /> === Specifying Education level ===<br /> <br /> The education level should indicate all levels (student ages) for which the resource is deemed appropriate. The education level should be labeled using the [http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-educationLevel DCT:educationLevel] term. <br /> <br /> Though we will accept any descriptions that seem appropriate to you, please consider using one of the following schemas: <br /> <br /> * primary, secondary, tertiary, adult; <br /> * K,1,2,3,...,20 (where the number refers to the actual grade-level). <br /> <br /> You may include equivalent terms as well by specifying more than one value for &lt;code&gt;DCT:educationLevel&lt;/code&gt;. For example, you might include a &lt;code&gt;DCT:educationLevel&lt;/code&gt; for &lt;code&gt;9&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;10&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;secondary&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> === Specifying Language ===<br /> <br /> When specifying the language for a resource, the value should be specified as described by [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt RFC-4646]. For example, &lt;code&gt;en&lt;/code&gt; for English. To distinguish English (United States) from English (United Kindgom), the language would be specified as &lt;code&gt;en-US&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;en-GB&lt;/code&gt;, respectively.<br /> <br /> In an Atom 1.0 feed, the language is specified as the &lt;code&gt;xml:lang&lt;/code&gt; attribute of the &lt;code&gt;content&lt;/code&gt; element. Multiple languages in a single entry is not supported.<br /> <br /> === Embedding license data ===<br /> <br /> The resource license should be communicated using the stable URL of the license. For example, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/. <br /> <br /> See the [[Syndication|CC with syndication formats]] documentation for more information on including this is a bootstrap feed.<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> <br /> === [X]HTML + [[RDFa]] ===<br /> <br /> The following is an example of how a resource at http://ocw.example.org/math/101 could be annotated with machine-readable metadata, including license and attribution information.

<p>Ahrash: </p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> == What is this? ==<br /> <br /> '''[http://discovered.creativecommons.org/search/ DiscoverEd]''' is an experimental project from [http://learn.creativecommons.org ccLearn] which attempts to provide web-scale search over educational resources. Metadata, including the license and subject information available is exposed in the result set.<br /> <br /> == Where do the results come from? ==<br /> <br /> Results come from institutional and third party repositories who have expended time and resources ''curating'' the metadata. These ''curators'' either create or aggregate educational resources and maintain information about them.<br /> <br /> == How can I help? ==<br /> <br /> If you're a producer or curator of educational resources and would like to be included in the search contact [[User:Ahrash_Bissell|Ahrash Bissell]] or [[User:Nathan_Yergler|Nathan Yergler]]. If you're an educator, we want to hear from you. What works for you? What's broken? What can be improved?<br /> <br /> [[Category:Learn]]<br /> [[Category:DiscoverEd]]</div>
