Phil’s JISC CETIS blog» Blog Archive » Feeding a repository
There has been some discussion recently about mechanisms for remote or bulk deposit in repositories and similar services. David Flanders ran a very thought provoking and lively show and tell meeting a couple of weeks ago looking at deposit. In part this is familiar territory; looking at and tweaking the work that the creators of the SWORD profile have done based on APP; or looking again at webDav. But there is also a newly emerging approach of using RSS or Atom feeds to populate repositories, a sort of feed-deposit. Coincidentally we also received a query at CETIS from a repository which is looking to collect outputs of the UKOER programme asking for help in firming-up the requirements for bulk or remote deposit, and asking how RSS possibly fitted into this.
Times Higher Education - Get more eyes on your site
Russell Stannard, a THE Award winner for his work with ICT, offers practical tips on how to increase the visibility of a website with your open education resources
There is nothing new about the idea that open education resources could be an effective way of marketing courses in higher education. The strategy has been part of the internet since Day One. You offer free materials, people consume the content, and then they come back for more.
What has changed is that there is now so much content on the web that your offering might never be found. This is not a problem for the big players in the open education resources game because they have the clout to get the message out there. So I wasn’t surprised to read that the 10,000 hours of content released by The Open University had led to 5 million visitors to the institution’s site and an extra 10,000 registrations. But what about the open education resources content from just one course at one university?
