In the context of the ICOPER project, the Open ICOPER Content Space (OICS) has been defined as the umbrella combining a set of specialised interconnected repositories, content and tools, as a test bed for the specifications and standards that are part of the ICOPER Reference Model (IRM). The OICS has been conceived as an infrastructure for sharing educational resources, with sophisticated services for publication, enrichment, search and retrieval. Additionally the OICS provides the services for the management of learning outcome profiles.
This deliverable documents the final status of the OICS as with end of January 2011. For the 1st generation of the OICS, described in D1.1, we had concentrated on building an infrastructure for harvesting and aggregating content provided by members of the consortium. We are now able to use this infrastructure as the underlying framework for implementing prototypical interfaces that allow learners and learning facilitators to engage in processes of outcome based learning.
