As you know in the SLOOP project we have developed freeLOms (www.freeloms.org). It's a "free LO management system", but we should have called it "OER management system" as it has designed to contain any kind of digital learning resources from an image to a lesson to a whole course. I really agree with your idea of a “folksnomy quality control”. In the SLOOP final booklet you have cited we (Giovanni Fulantelli and me) write: "At the moment the SLOOP freeLOms is a tool mainly addressingteachers. A future development - SLOOP 2.0 and freeLOms 2.0 – could directly involve young people, the digital natives. Perhaps it is a dream that a student, instead of tagging only photos and videos and downloading music, would tag didactic resources adding her/his personal tag to those of the teacher; or that a student would access resources not because of the teacher’s instructions but because other students have tagged them as useful. Is this just a dream? Or could it be the future?". All the best Pierfranco Hi Antonio

many thanks to have presented the SLOOP project. As you know in the SLOOP project we have developed freeLOms (www.freeloms.org). It’s a “free LO management system”, but we should have called it “OER management system” as it has designed to contain any kind of digital learning resources from an image to a lesson to a whole course.

I really agree with your idea of a “folksnomy quality control”.

It’s an interesting project, very near to OER. It was funded by the European Union but now the funding period is expired and the staff have trouble about the future… Is this project able to survive as a volunteer community? I love SLOOP but I honestly do not bet on its unfunded survival.. This is, indirectly, an answer to the question about government funding: yes, for example, in Europe there are a lot of EU funded projects for education and some of them are related to OER. But they all work within the “project paradigm“: the project starts and we hardly work, it ends and… let’s try to start another one… In my opinion it’s not a very sustainable model! [...] […] Another example is the SLOOP project (I blogged about it in week 5…). It’s an interesting project, very near to OER.

We really need to get everyone together to create a super matrix of all the OER projects we know about... Another nice comparison matrix!
