Project Description
- Project resources
eduCommons is an OpenCourseWare Management System designed specifically to support OpenCourseWare projects like MIT OCW and USU OCW. eduCommons provides the functionality necessary to successfully develop and manage an open access collection, including a workflow process that steps users through uploading materials into a repository, tracking copyright clearance, reassembly of materials into courses, a quality assurance process, and final publication of the materials. While the front end of eduCommons is designed to visually align with other OCWs, the back end architecture is actually closer to something like Connexions - all resources are stored as individual learning objects in order to facilitate easy reuse downstream. eduCommons is open source software available from SourceForge.
eduCommons is generously funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
