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
