Quality as the challenge
Four dimensions: 1. Teaching and Learning Processes 2.Information and Material Content 3. Presentation, Product and Format 4. System, Technical and Technology
Quality as the challenge
• To improve the accesibility, discoverability , share, use and reuse of OER and educational data through emergent web technologies.
• Vision: OER shared and accesible to all and open data linked
Mission of our research group:GICAC UPM-UTPL
Openness
Linked Data
Heterogeneity leads to problems of interoperability and accessibility of open content among institutions and within them.
The lack of interoperability shows some disadvantages in the discovery, reuse, re-mix and adaptation of OER.

Linked Data & Visualization
Serendipity POIs use icons to represent different categories of POI on a map graphically. A point of interest, or POI, is a OER specific point location that someone may find useful or interesting.
Serendipity POIs - Open data contains valuable information that will drive insights, innovations, and discoveries, but it can be difficult to access and digest. Using data visualization, we’re simplify the complexity and drive a deeper understanding of the open educational context.
