Collaborating at the Learning Registry PLUGFEST 6/23-6/24

[Ashley Lee]

Learning Registry PlugFest is less than 2 weeks away! We're looking forward to seeing you in San Diego.

If you haven't registered yet, it's not too late: http://www.learningregistry.org/events/plugfest-3

For those who will be participating in the PlugFest (in person or online)--what are you interested in building? Please take a moment to introduce yourself and share the projects you're interested in working on and any relevant links. Perhaps we can start partnering up and hit the ground running on June 23rd.

Here are some ideas that have been floating around:

Standards ID cross-reference - Joe Hobson / Navigation North
We’ve run into issues where a variety of datasets use differing identifiers for the same academic standards - ASN, EdGate, Academic Benchmarks, CCSS official identifiers, etc. Some of these identifiers are proprietary, others are open and available to the public. There isn’t currently an open service for translating identifiers from one promulgator to another. Using same-as assertion paradata in the LR, you could build a service to retrieve mappings from one identifier to another, so that if you found standards alignment data in LR that referenced ASN ID, but your system uses EdGate, then you could easily translate that alignment for use in your system.

Javascript web beacon submissions to LR - Steve Midgley / U.S. Dept. of Education
Using the new authentication / node signing system, build some data collection javascript widgets to permit submission of unsigned but authenticated inputs to LR, that get signed inside the node and distributed. Examples could be an LR "like" button that is put on many different websites for content.
