Design Guidelines in OER Context April 7

Colin, Dana, Sepideh, Jon

• Card content

• Adding content about metadata and authoring

• Some of the activities could be framed around education and authoring
  
  
  

• Framing within learning resources

• shared language around inclusive design

• "bite-sized", easy to consume
  
  
  

• Having digital/editable cards:

• Letting people to contribute to the cards

• Having digital templates that people can author their cards

• envision as a repository? e.g. Federated Wiki - maintains spirit of OERs (maleability, adaptability)

• where could we start with this? had intended the ILDH to be like this - direct editing in Github (using Github editor) - may not really be the experience we want - question of publishing as well - maybe a good way to start

• Github + a static site

• ProseMirror https://prosemirror.net/demo/markdown.html

• buddy system? way of welcoming contributors/contributions and putting them into Github

• GUIs for docpad - to create content for static sites - could interface with Github

• database? use Wordpress?

• eventually - our own authoring tools? perhaps connected to Github behind the scenes

• http://pressbooks.com/

• similar to other static sites (e.g handbook, infusion) - add editing and feedback functionality

• Functionality we want?

•  

  •  

    •  

      • digital, interactive guidelines

      • editable, feedback

      • sketch out some design

  • We could use a similar approach as IDEO for our design cards - for the top level we could use the icons that Dana had already started creating

    • http://www.designkit.org/methods - you can see all methods at once, or filter them by design phase or select your own methods in the My methods section

Next Steps

• create simple static site

• allow us to publish different versions easily

• allow navigation amongst the cards

• awesome bonus would be to be able to publish a pdf

• Jon will look into how we could host this

• include content around strategies for inclusive learning (Dana)

• some content in ILDH, metadata etc

• http://handbook.floeproject.org/Metadata.html

• http://handbook.floeproject.org/LearnerNeedsAndPreferences.html

• need to do some research

• CAST - UDL

• other?

• strategies that OER creators/teachers/students could use

• create sketches for design strategies for fully editable site (Dana)
