Eduworks

Since 2003 Eduworks has participated in the National Science Digital Library initiative of the U.S. National Science Foundation. During that time Eduworks has researched best practices for content and systems design, implemented prototype technology focused on creating personal collections of reusable objects, and developed techniques for measuring the extent to which objects are being reused and repurposed. The goal of this research is to improve access and reduce production costs of digital learning resources in academia.  

Our current efforts focus on measuring and understanding reuse and repurposing of learning assets on the Web. The impact of reuse is being examined using a survey administered through our development partner.  Information gathered will be analyzed to identify commonly reused learning objects and characteristics that enable and encourage their reusable.
