Hi everyone!
Sorry its been so long since our last post, we have been kept exceedingly busy these days. On what you ask? Well why not join us on Thursday and find out? I’ll be presenting on the latest UCT OpenContent developments and will share a “behind the scenes” view of the project. Alot of the statistics and metrics I’ll be sharing are things we usually discuss at our monthly team meeting, but we thought we would share them more widely.
Specifically, I will be talking about:
- Details of the UCT open educational resource collection
- Where things are hosted and stored
- How we use and share metadata
- How UCT OpenContent increases discoverability and exposure for contributors
- A summary of web analytics for the past year
- A summary of what visitors search for when they come to the directory
- Some real examples of how our content gets used around the world
- Some information on our international partnerships and collaborations
- A future vision of OpenUCT
