[Ica-osgeo-labs] Sharing is Caring - Share my Lesson

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi,

Interesting, Suchith. However, I continue to feel that we want to move
toward a system that allows for:

1) the uploading of modular content -- the unit should be "module" rather
than a full course, but with a mechanism to provide a full course of
modules. This would allow a "buffet" style of resource consumption.

2) the ability to upload source code rather than pdfs, to allow for the
creation of new derivative works (e.g., translations, releases of new
versions, etc.)

Does this one provide those functions?

One simple step forward for us would be for each lab to start putting their
educational (source) content up and linked to their lab website, and we use
the OSGeo educational search engine [1] to link to these materials?

I continue to try and get a grant that might fund some work on the next
version of our educational repository - it could be to use a system like
this one, or it could be something else. We really need a GeoForAll
"project" effort to figure out the right strategy. Finally, I also think
 that some kind of "publication" system might help to incentivize
submissions.

My two cents,

Charlie
