Abstract
This paper presents a description of the metadata harvester software development. This system provides access to reliable and quality educational resources, shared by Mexican Universities through their repositories, to anyone with Internet Access. We present the conceptual and contextual framework, followed by the technical basis, the results and future work. This paper is based on the experience gained from working with the technical committee of the project sponsored by CUDI-CONACYT titled: Metasearch of Educational repositories to Promote the Use of Learning Objects and Open Educational Resources: Best Practices.
Highlights
The search for information on the Web is an everyday activity, finding free, reliable and quality information is a challenge
This paper research, aims to show the development of a meta-connector that allows harvesting various repositories that can be used by infomediaries, in order to facilitate the task of finding, evaluating and sharing high quality content to all Internet users who know it. This is based on the experience gained from working with the technical committee of an interagency project sponsored by CUDI -CONACYT, titled: “Metasearch of Educational repositories to Promote the Use of Learning Objects and Open Educational Resources: Best Practices, and the research “Characterization of Mexican Educational Repositories”
One of the main lines of work in the Open Education Movement, focuses on the production, spread, use and reuse of open educational resources.
