Medical education content sharing & repurposing

A large amount of medical educational content (e.g. tests, videos, simulations etc.) is available within academic institutions and on the web. However all this information is not automatically finding its way into e-learning systems. The mEducator project is a best practice network, set up to examine existing standards and solutions and to review how the situation can be improved. The lack of standardized content sharing mechanisms has been identified as one of the main issues. mEducator 3.0, based on the Open Linked Education philosophy, has been implemented using a set of Semantic Web Services and a number of different interfaces to it. We will examine an evaluation of mEducator3.0 in terms of its performance, usability and viability.

Once educational content is shared effectively, an important issue is their re-use. As simulations and serious games are often difficult to re-purpose (re-use for a different purpose than the original author had), we will present mEitor, a tool that has been developed to facilitate the re-purposing of serious games, with a minimum of technical knowledge.
