The Learning Registry: A How To Primer for Digital Content Publishers and Aggregators DECEMBER 20, 2011 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm (Eastern)
Webinar The
Learning Registry (LR) is an open source technical system designed to
facilitate the capturing, sharing, and analyzing of learning resource
data to broaden the usefulness of digital content to benefit educators
and learners. The LR aims to support resource creators, publishers,
curators, and consumers who are collaborating to broadly share
resources, as well as information about how those resources are used by
educators in diverse learning environments across the Web. The LR was
initiated with federal leadership and launched last month. Join LR
leaders on this SIIA webinar to understand how the LR can be leveraged
by publishers, aggregators and other digital learning providers. Speakers: Steve Midgley, U.S. Department of Education Susan Van Gundy, National Science Digital Library Gail Lewis (moderator), Capstone Digital Solutions

I'm happy to let you know that we're revving up for a second Learning Registry Plugfest from December 13-14 in Boulder, Colorado. To honor the DIY spirit, the event will be run more in a BarCamp/unconference model. We're going to have a very small amount of structure, in favor of providing a venue, tools and experience for people interested in working with the Learning Registry to come together and make. In the two days we'll have at the National Science Digital Library, we'll have a full complement of the core Learning Registry team available to help you achieve whatever you're interested in doing: building tools, exploring the data we have, connecting your repositories and content collections and communities and/or work on the Learning Registry code, itself, to address features you need. We encourage design thinkers, developers, engineers, entrepreneurs and educational technologists to join us. We want to sling code and discover the needs at the edges that will one day be the core needs. More information on the event and suggested accommodations is located here: http://www.learningregistry.org/home/plugfest-2We are also launching a new mailing list for people interested in integrating, developing applications, working with Paradata… using the Learning Registry to make awesome things happen. We'll be using this new list for any traffic related to projects we're working now and for Plugfest itself: Homepage: http://groups.google.com/group/learning-registry-collaborate?hl=enGroup email: learning-registry-collaborate@googlegroups.com |

We've created a second Google Group/Mail list for those working on the
pilot developments of the Learning Registry. The Google group is @ http://groups.google.com/group/learningreg-dev?pli=1Email: learningreg-dev@googlegroups.com
We created it to split the
detailed tech conversation from this main group. This is a
public group -- anyone can join, but be prepared for in depth
discussion. Please keep general discussions on this main list;
developer topics on the new list.
Note, your first post to the group is moderated to make sure we
don't get spammers joining, so your first post may not appear for a few
hours.

We are working on providing some access for remote participants. If you want to participate remotely, please send a message to info@learningregistry.org. Since we may have limited remote participation, do indicate if you want to participate in all or part of the meeting.
We will be tweeting during the meeting, monitoring the tweeter
