Just in time to add to your holiday reading list, the last Opencast
Matterhorn newsletter of 2010 is now available at
http://www.opencastproject.org/newsletter/2000.
Preview of what you'll find in this issue:
*Coming soon: Matterhorn 1.1 and Matterhorn 1.01*
Get a glimpse of the features currently in progress for the 1.1 release.
And if you're planning a Spring pilot, you'll want to know about the
1.01 Maintenance release scheduled for early January.
*Integrate with Matterhorn*
The release of Matterhorn 1.0 paved the way for integration work to
begin. Matterhorn is designed with the enterprise in mind, with the
understanding that Matterhorn is but one cog (or several, in some cases)
in the machine. We are especially excited at the prospect of those
implementations of Matterhorn toward building a more coherent learning
experience for students.
*Opencast Matterhorn Community-Driven Roadmap for the Future*
As a community-driven project, the further development of Opencast
Matterhorn depends on the contributions and the commitment of community
members, individual and institutional alike. This participatory model
sees two major development efforts
*Featured Pilot School: Lernfunk Goes Matterhorn*
When it comes to lecture recording, the University of Osnabruck in
Northern Germany offers a unique blend of long-lasting experience,
technological innovation, various research efforts around the user
experience, a dedicated didactical perspective and enthusiasm with the
service they provide.
*Featured Pilot School: University of Nebraska-Lincoln*
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has been a core contributor to the
Opencast Matterhorn project from its beginnings in 2007. Bruce
Sandhorst, Instructional Technology Coordinator, has led UNL's
involvement in Opencast, part of which included a commitment of
development staff toward the project. In addition, Bruce has been an
active participant on the Opencast Matterhorn board, has given several
presentations at regional and national conferences evangelizing the
project, and his team hosted a "base camp" for other institutions to
test and learn about Matterhorn.

Peace and happiness to all this holiday season!
