Do as little as possible, as quickly as possible.
Avoid bureaucratic “heat death.”

Learning Registry Use-Case #1 © Copyright 2010 US Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative: CC-BY-3.0 20101022 This becomes a gigantic pile of diverse information about learning resources. PBS says “Hey, what unit? Oh, from NASA, great thanks, we’ll use that too.” Physics Teacher says “Thanks PBS, you’ve got great physics resources. NSDL says “Got it, thanks NASA” NASA says “Here’s a cool video on fluid dynamics” Common Metadata Timeline aka: The Learning Registry NSDL says “Hey, 33 physics teachers actually used that unit!”

Learning Registry Use-Case #2 © Copyright 2010 US Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative: CC-BY-3.0 20101022 “ Black math” wizards make sense of all this information PBS users say this assessment is often used in conjunction with this assessment. Sakai users say using info from “black math” increases learning outcomes Moodle users say this is good for chemical interactions Promethean smartboard users say this resource is good for fluid modeling Common Metadata Timeline aka: The Learning Registry NSDL users says this other tools helps for teaching to ELL students

Enable Others
No centralized infrastructure: No “off” switch
Control is local, accountability is local
No default winners: level the playing field
Anyone can provide information on anything
You don’t need to own it, to classify it
Identity matters: Who says it matters as much as what is said
Re-aggregation is flexible (think hashtags)
Usage/utility is shared
If it’s really useful, you’ll pay for infrastructure
Trust is not centralized: expertise is an opinion
Gov’t should build what others won’t, so others can build what they want.

Learning Registry Timeline
February 28 th : Specification and test cases. v.0.1
March 31 st : Hackable demo v.0.2
April 30 th : Import / Export tools stabilized, Basic network running, Initial partners sharing live data
May 31 st : More partners sharing live data; conforming data supporting complex, disparate data sets (beta v.0.3)
June 30 th : More infrastructure deployed w/partners. LR network gets more complex.
September 30 th : Production network ready for use. v.0.5

We welcome anyone who wants to make a difference.
A “do-ocracy” – those who do run the project.

Participation
