Working of search engine
Search engines help people find information on the web. They have three main parts: spiders that crawl websites and index their content, an index that stores all the crawled web pages, and search software that finds matches to user queries in the index and ranks results by relevance. Search engines use algorithms like TF-IDF for scoring documents and PageRank to determine the importance of pages based on links from other websites. Together these components allow search engines to efficiently search the huge volume of information on the web.
Working Of Search Engine
The document discusses search engines and their history and functioning. It explains that search engines use crawler programs to index web pages and gather keywords to help users find relevant information quickly from the vast World Wide Web.

Print2Screen Mobile App: Embedding Multimedia in Printed ODL Course Materials
Print2Screen Mobile App: Embedding Multimedia in Printed ODL Course MaterialsIshan Abeywardena, Ph.D.
The world is rapidly moving towards a digital culture where teaching and learning is migrated to cyberspace from a conventional brick and mortar classroom. Given that eLearning and mobile learning are attractive propositions for countries with robust technological infrastructure, the global south is still struggling to mainstream digital methods of delivering education due to various technological and financial inhibitors. This has spelled a potential slow death for printed material in developing countries where the medium is predominantly used for delivering education in schools, conventional universities, vocational training institutions and open universities. However, with the rise of OER and multimedia such as YouTube videos, many of these academic institutions are becoming mindful of the richness they bring into the teaching and learning process. Given that multimedia resources cannot be directly integrated into printed material, the only available alternative is to print hyperlinks which teachers and learners can manually type into a web browser. This method becomes ridiculously ineffective as the length of the URL increases. To address this limitation with a special focus on print based ODL course materials, the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA), which is a regional center of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), developed an innovative solution to seamlessly integrate multimedia into printed material using Quick Response Codes (QR codes) or 2D barcodes and an Android mobile application named “Print2Screen”. This paper highlights the rationale behind Print2Screen, the development process, how the solution is implemented in a real world scenario and the benefits it will bring to the ODL community especially in rural and developing parts of the world where stable access to technology is still a costly commodity.

The specific topics covered include a brief introduction to OER; defining the “O” in OER; how licensing works with the new Creative Commons 4.0 International licensing scheme; defining the usefulness of an OER for a particular teaching and learning purpose through the “Desirability” framework; and identifying the objectives of large scale OER projects through the “Focus Triangle”.
OERScout: Widening Access to OER through Faceted Search
In recent years, the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement has achieved considerable success within the academic community with respect to advocacy of the concept. As a result, many organisations such as the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), UNESCO and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), in partnership with academic institutions, have produced large volumes of OER. However, due to the disconnected nature and the constant expansion of volume, many repositories hosting these resources are less frequented or completely ignored by OER users. i.e. only the more popular OER repositories such as Connexions and WikiEducator are frequent stops in the search for academically useful resources. This limitation, in turn, reduces the access to high quality resources hidden away in isolated repositories hosted by lesser known sources. Furthermore, the time and labour required to trawl these repositories with a view of identifying the most suitable OER is tantamount to creating ones’ own material from scratch. As a solution to these issues, this paper discusses how the OERScout technology framework uses a “faceted search” approach to locate the most desirable OER from sources spread throughout the globe. It also highlights how focused searching can greatly improve access to OER readily useable in teaching and learning.

CC staff will go over the license metadata, examples of good implementation, and OER platforms where you can host resources under the CC BY license. We will also demonstrate tools and sites to find existing CC BY or otherwise licensed OER for your project. (SBCTC will share their stories, ie. around Open Course Library.)
CC Tools and Resources for Librarians and Libraries
Webinar I gave to librarians across the state of New York part of NY3R (http://www.ny3rs.org/).
Recording from 2 May 2014: http://rrlc.adobeconnect.com/p3wrr1dlws0/.
Abstract:
Creative Commons are a librarian's best friend when it comes to explaining copyright, pointing others to free academic and educational resources, and highlighting reuse and attribution best practices. Learn about Creative Commons -- the organization and its mission; its copyright licenses; its public domain tools, especially CC0 (read CC Zero); how to discover, find and attribute CC-licensed content; and how to license your own content with a CC license. We will also go over a few of the major organizations and institutions who have adopted CC licensing.

Beyond Newsletters: RSS feeds, Blogs and Podcasts
The document discusses various tools for marketing and communication in libraries, including blogs, RSS feeds, and podcasts. It provides an overview of what each tool is, how libraries can use it, examples of libraries that currently use it, and things to consider when implementing them. The document encourages libraries to consider using these tools to communicate with patrons and staff, provide notifications about new materials and events, and share content from the library.
ccLearn And The Infrastructure Of OER
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the infrastructure needed to support them. It addresses some of the legal, technical, and social barriers to sharing educational content openly. Creative Commons licenses provide an easy way to share materials legally while overcoming technical barriers by specifying permissions in metadata. However, social barriers like standardized curricula, teacher workloads, and cultural views still need to be addressed for open education to reach its full potential.
Open Resources for Open Presentations
This document provides information about open educational resources (OERs) and Creative Commons licenses. It defines key terms like intellectual property, copyright, and open licenses. It explains that OERs are freely available digital resources that can be used for teaching and learning under an open license. The document discusses what OERs are and are not, provides examples of Creative Commons licenses, and outlines the University of Edinburgh's support for creating and sharing OERs. It also includes activities for creating an OER infographic while properly attributing any images using Creative Commons licenses.
Introduction to Contributing to OER/OEP
This document summarizes a workshop about open educational resources (OER) held at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It defines OER as educational materials that can be freely used, modified, and shared under an open license. The workshop discussed why OER are important now for increasing visibility, improving learning, and profiling teaching. It also provided practical guidance on identifying content to share as OER, evaluating copyright issues, choosing an open license, hosting options, and contributing to the OER Commons directory.
Lesson 4: Researching & The Internet
This document provides information about researching topics online and evaluating sources. It discusses how to find useful information through search engines and remember the information found. It compares printed and internet sources, describing the publication and review process for printed materials versus the lack of oversight for internet sources. It also outlines how to use search engines and boolean operators effectively to search for topics and filter results.

Search and Discovery: OER's Open Loop
OER search capabilities are currently limited because resources are scattered across different repositories and descriptions lack consistency. Creative Commons is working to improve OER search by indexing metadata and text to enable drilling down across repositories, establishing shared practices for content creators and aggregators, and developing an improved query engine and metadata support to help users better find and reuse open educational resources.
Technology / Open Source @ Creative Commons (CC Salon SF, August 2009)
The document discusses Creative Commons' tools and services for integrating Creative Commons licenses into applications and websites. It describes the CC Rights Expression Language for programmatically determining a work's license details. It also outlines the Simple Chooser and Partner Interface for selecting licenses, and the CC API for accessing licensing data via web services. Finally, it provides information on contributing to CC's open source code and community.
CC Technology Summit 3 Update
The document discusses updates to Creative Commons' work registration and licensing tools. It summarizes the growth of RDFa adoption and CC Network, and proposes changes to the CC Network specification to simplify verification for clients. It also outlines developments in Science Commons' materials transfer agreements, including moving to a JSON representation accessible via SPARQL queries.
A Database Called The Web
1. The document discusses using semantic web technologies like RDFa to encode metadata in HTML pages in order to make information on the web more accessible to machines and humans.
2. It provides examples of embedding Creative Commons license information using RDFa attributes and describes how this allows programs to understand the licensing of works.
3. The author advocates for using RDFa to publish structured metadata from websites in order to enable mashups, remixes, and generally build a more open and valuable web.
The Site is the API
The document discusses exploring ways to make copyright and licensing information about works machine-readable through metadata and registrations. It proposes using RDFa and publishing assertions about works, creators and licenses to allow other applications to programmatically determine attribution, commercial use permissions, and other details. It also outlines testing registration queries and integrating registration information on CC license deeds.
CC & Open Access
This document discusses Creative Commons (CC) and its role in open access publishing. CC provides free copyright licenses that allow authors to select how their works can be shared, reused and remixed. The definition of open access implies works should be freely available online without financial, legal or technical barriers. CC licenses and RDFa can encode copyright information and metadata in works to indicate how they can be accessed and used. CC is developing new tools to help identify works in the public domain and support reproducible research by recommending appropriate licensing for related works, code and data.
Task Tracking with Semantic MediaWiki
All Your Task Are Belong to Us discusses using Semantic MediaWiki for lightweight task and time tracking within projects and groups. It allows creating tasks on user, project, and project group pages with arbitrary information and annotations. Demonstrations of email integration, reminders, and calendar integration are coming soon to improve task management and time tracking across projects.
Integrating CC Licensing with Applications
This document discusses different ways to integrate Creative Commons licensing into software applications. It provides examples of how to apply licenses to content, publish metadata, and consume licenses and metadata. Developers can integrate CC licensing through simple chooser widgets, web services, or by publishing RDFa metadata with content. Upcoming integrations include a C library for querying licenses and a GTK+ widget for desktop applications.
