Скачать или смотреть Introducing Lantern: A multiformat OER Publishing Tool

Description: Librarians play an essential role in the publishing of OER at colleges and universities, often providing technology services for the production, hosting, and archiving of OER. Lantern is a free and open-source digital publishing toolkit that provides workflows, templates, and instructions for publishing OER without the cost and sustainability concerns associated with repository systems and publishing platforms that are typically used. In addition to providing instructions OER publishing, Lantern also provides an entry-point to using open-source tools; no programming or command line knowledge is required to get started. Using Lantern’s step-by-step instructions, users can begin with an OER manuscript in Microsoft Word format and produce a static HTML website with multiple OER output formats entirely online (no software installation required). Lantern was developed with support from the Association of Research Libraries that provided funding for a multi-institutional Librarian Review Panel, whose feedback was incorporated in the toolkit’s initial release. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of Lantern, introduce minimal computing concepts, and invite the open education community to use Lantern on their next OER project.

Learning Objectives: Presentation attendees will be able to apply the philosophy of minimal computing to library publishing technology decisions Presentation attendees will be able to identify the advantages of plain text for OER version control, distribution, and preservation Presentation attendees will be able to test a GitHub-based workflow for multiformat OER publishing

Presenters: Lauren McKeen McDonald and Chris Diaz
