The OpeniWorld program committee selected a number of software and systems for evaluation in August. The following links will take you to results and descriptions of each demonstrator:
2007 Technology Challenges
The 2007 demonstrators are being chosen through a call for proposals that was issued in April and ended on May 11th. Priority is given to candidate proposals that address the following user-centric technology challenges:
Shareable and Transparent Identity Management: This challenge focuses on applications that require authentication of users, authorization of their actions, personal profile management, etc. In particular applications that can work seamlessly across multiple user communities will be showcased.
Easy and Personal Course Information Management: This challenge focuses on applications that require access to course catalog systems or course and student information, or require synchronizing course and student data with administrative systems, or across multiple student information systems, etc.
Platform Independent Learning: This challenge focuses on increasing the convenience of on-line educational experiences by making innovative educational applications deployable and re-usable across more than one learning support application or course management environment.
Convenient and Ubiquitous Access to On-line Content: This challenge focuses on leveraging learning content as broadly as possible by making multiple software applications able to access all sources of one or more types of content; such as, publisher supplied materials, museum collections or professional group repositories.
