Giving back to the community

Many resources in the development of the OER world map went into simple questions like “What is the best taxonomy of disciplines?” or what subtypes of organizations exist in the world? Behind every form field on oerworldmap.org there was most likely a lengthy discussion some time ago. 😉 Many of them are also openly documented in the issue-section of our Github-repository. We’re happy that we can now share our experiences and knowledge with current initiatives in the context of OER. Good luck to all these projects, here are just two examples of our team-member Adrian Pohl commenting on some basic, but very important questions:

H5P content hub

What is the best taxonomy of disciplines we could use for the H5P content hub? Shouldn't have too many similar entries, should cover higher ed well, but also feel natural for K-12, vocational, on the job training etc.
