Crowdsourcing: What are some good platforms to build open educational resources on? I've got the basics like Omeka S, Omeka, Drupal, Wordpress, but it's been a while I have looked at platforms.

For most of our digital projects, we use Rails, but this will be a site that needs continual updating so we need something with user controls and permissions.

@nirak Do you mean a Content Management System (CMS) like Wordpress or an educational webtool like Moodle.

I'm assuming the terms I'm using are accurate and recognisable :)

@rowlandm I am mostly thinking of CMS's yes. I have seen a lot of OER's made using wordpress, but I think we'll need something a bit more robust than that. Moodle can sort of serve this purpose, but it would be clunky - it's really mostly made for running classes on, rather than holding resources *for* classes.

@nirak @rowlandm Important to consider the LMS landscape, including MoodleNet. Creating/indexing/collecting/managing #OERs which are interoperable across different instances for learning experiences might have a deeper impact than publishing content with the appropriate CC license.

@enkerli @rowlandm I am really interested in the "interoperability across resources" idea. One of the things I like about Omeka S is the semantic HTML and the API.
