Our podcasts provide information about a range of topics including Leadership, Policy and Law, Teaching and Learning, Emerging Technologies, Open Source, Research Computing, Cyberinfrastructure, and Digitial Libraries. http://connect.educause.edu/browse/content/node/691/list/feed Recent library resources tagged with Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative and Open Source. en http://connect.educause.edu/display/42543 Partnering in the learning marketspace is an NLII key theme because it provides new opportunities to reconfigure the way that instruction is funded, developed, marketed, delivered, and supported. We continue to examine alternatives and issues involved for inter-institutional partnering and for partnering with commercial service providers to develop and implement highly leveraged strategies for e-learning-the use of Internet technologies in teaching and learning in higher education.<p>This article highlights three sessions at the NLII annual meeting looking at how relationships are making it possible for institutions to realize their academic missions. http://connect.educause.edu/display/42543#comments Collaboration E-Learning Open Source Partnerships Virtual Community Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Wed, 23 Jul 2003 10:19:07 -0500 drupal 42543 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/42544 One of the goals of the NLII is developing tools and standards to support new learning environments and creating market structures for the development of interactive learning materials. The NLII gives high priority to the monitoring of and participation in the development of technical specifications and standards for learning materials, instructional technologies, and software developed to manage courses (or learning), learning objects and other content, or student activities <p>Many factors influence the development of specifications and standards throughout their lifecycle. In particular, good communication and coordination between the tool users and the tool makers is critical, and the NLII sees its role as to facilitate that communication and coordination, working particularly with the IMS.<p>This article highlights several issues such as the specification and standards development life cycle, use case methodology and open source development. The role of IMS, OKI, and Shibboleth in this context is discussed; the University of Delaware's uPortal describes one model model for open source software development; and anoverview of NLII's involvement in the process of specification and standards development is given. http://connect.educause.edu/display/42544#comments E-Learning Middleware OKI Open Source OSS Shibboleth Standards Standards and Specifications: Teaching and Learning uPortal Contributed by EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Articles, Papers, and Reports PDF Wed, 23 Jul 2003 11:03:06 -0500 drupal 42544 at http://connect.educause.edu
