Reflections and Pain Points on a Growing Schema
LRMI Reflections
• There will be growing overlaps in extensions as they emerge
• Onboarding process is painful for educators, small publishers without engineers and school districts (incentives issues, what happens after RTTT?) (URL Example)
• There is a mismatch between what teachers are looking for and what district and state level folks want them to be looking for. Distrust around shifting models.
• We are at a critical here comes everybody moment, as much for OER as for published content
• Path dependence and the coming adaptive recommender systems
