I have a sort of set of OER Metadata, is fifteen grand the fee still?
It was 10K, but the funds have now been reallocated :/

Guessing edshare and jorum must have logs?
OK, there are two things here. First some analysis of "in-system" search log
files to see what terms people search for because this might yield useful
information about what metadata we should provide. We didn't get any bids to
do this when we suggested it as a miniproject. It's still in my workplan to
explore this more, but if anyone wants to pick it up...
Secondly referrer log or Google analytic data to show how people get to OER
hosting sites, or resources on those sites (do they come via Google
searches, do they get straight to the OER page or have to go via the
home/search page or some other page). That kind of overlaps a bit with the
first thing if you extend it to include analysis of what search terms are
used when Google is the route to the site, but it is different.
Some of the resources from when we first had these discussions (at the
#CetisWMD meeting) are gathered at

Hi Jenny,
a) do learners value the finer little OERs
Not sure about learners, but I think educators do. There's a reasonable
amount of feedback from users of OU materials that a finer-grained download
than 'the whole unit' would be appreciated.
b) is google THE 'aggregator' or 'finder'
Probably, and definitely for people who aren't already familiar with the
OER movement - that's to say the ordinary teacher who just wants an x to use
in next week's lesson. Wasn't there some discussion / work a while back
about mining our sites' statistics to find out that sort of thing? Certainly
over half of OpenLearn traffic comes from search.
Yes, mining search logs to find out more about how users search for
educational resources was one of the things we wanted to explore through the
OER Mini Projects. Nobody submitted a bid though :( We still think there's
really useful work to be done there though. Perhaps we need o explore
other ways to get this done. Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers
Lorna
