We discussed a OER delicious type thing amongst the PORSCHE team as well and I've been looking into building a skeleton app for this in Rails (limited skills permitting) - it would be good to hear whether others think there's some traction to this idea or would like to collaborate on this. Might save some of the link retweeting dilemmas mentioned..?

I don't mention any aggregators other than in my opening para explaining my interest in aggregators! You know I know about xpert. It's not a blog post about the models or usage of particular aggregators, it's about the models behind them. I'd be very interested to see how any aggregator would describe itself in the terms I suggested in the post. I'm also keen to hear of established ways of describing what aggregators do.

We also support secondary aggregation via API calls across existing collections (searching one feed), and user-defined collections (searching multiple feeds). And I think 2 of the thematic projects (Oxford and Loughborough) are both using Xpert powered systems as part of their sites? -----Original Message----- From: Open Educational Resources [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Amber THOMAS Sent: 29 March 2011 20:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: OER and aggregation Xpert is definitely an aggregator! Why do you ask that?
