[Xerte-dev] Xerte on the Apereo programm

[Inge Donkervoort]

Hi all,

Tom Reijnders and I (inge Donkervoort) are visiting the Apereo 
Conference in Philadelphia USA at the moment and did also a Xerte 
session yesterday. That went well by the way.

Watching the program of today we are very excited because two of the 
sessions today are about Xerte and are NOT presented by us :)

*Hey it's a MOOC, let's copy and use it!*
Presented by: Greg Doyle - University of Cape Town
The globalization of MOOCs has evolved to where it attracts participants 
from all over the world, expanding access to higher education for the 
masses. Poorly resourced institutions frequently use these teaching and 
learning resources as an expansion to what is available at their own 
institutions. Opportunities for reuse and repurposing through Creative 
Commons licenses enable modified course content to be re-published at 
other educational facilities. MOOCS therefore offer productive pathways 
for expanding educational learning opportunities. The question is how do 
you convert the content used in a MOOC and run it locally? In this 
presentation we will share converting and localizing the content an 
international MOOC on the topic of eye health in Xerte and running it on 
Sakai. We describe the affordances of Xerte and the opportunities it 
allows for different modes of delivery.

Technology Liaison, Liberal Studies, NYU
