Via Mandy Schiefner I found out about a new framework for education and research which mainly deals with the exchange of data and how using a service-oriented infrastructure could actually support administration, education, and research. I’m not quite sure whether this could actually lead to more funding, however, most of the other ideas shown in the video seem very fascinating. This kind of standardization might actually be a possible way for Personal Learning Environments as well which would highly profit from standards. Here’s the original description and below you can find the link to the great visualisation of the e-Framework.
The e-Framework for Education and Research is an initiative by the UK’s Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and Australia’s Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). The primary goal of the e-Framework is to facilitate technical interoperability within and across education and research through improved strategic planning and implementation processes. Quelle
