[okfn-discuss] [project proposal] OpenTest

[Sebastian Beca]

Hello,

I'd like to propose *OpenTest* as an OKFN project. The idea is to build a
collaborative assessment database where educators and learners can upload
and share their questions and tests. All contents will be under CC license,
OpenDatabase or equivalent.

There is a lot of OpenEducation content on the web, not so much assessment.
I believe this is a need that could be helpful for many schools, and
educational institutions around the world.

More info on the project here: www.opentest.cc

I'd be more than happy to discuss the idea with you! =)

regards,

Sebastian

[okfn-discuss] Entering the Public Domain in 2013

[Adam Green]

Dear Chris,

That's fantastic, thanks so much! Regarding getting these works digitised
it would definitely be worth thinking about some kind of specific
co-ordinated effort on this - perhaps involving Wikimedia and/or Project
Gutenberg? A focused yearly drive for those works going into public domain
in jurisdictions with the 70 years and plus rule. Often its only pre-1923
works which have been done (as already in the public domain in the U.S).

All the best,

Adam.

Hi folks,

I went through the list of writers who died in 1942 on Wikipedia and added
everyone that I think of as noteworthy (priority given to people who wrote
in English, people who were influential, people whose books are uploaded
onto the Internet Archive, people whose books had their own Wikipedia
pages). By all means add whoever else you like, but those are the criteria
that I used.

It would be great to get some more of these books digitised, OCRed and onto
Project Gutenberg - or circulated more widely. Let me know if you have any
ideas on that front.


Cheers,
