چکیده

WISE is a software platform that enables easy authoring and exchange of educational materials amongst learning science researchers. This paper charts the recent evolution of the WISE technology, sharing lessons learned and describing a new open source framework called SAIL. We identify key challenges and design principles for technologyenhanced learning environments, and describe how we applied these principles to help WISE move from a single-developer codebase to an international open source codebase shared among multiple technology projects. Finally, we discuss the new types of community this transition fosters.

We develop a framework to characterize the optimal two-sided pricing strategy of a platform firm; that is, the pricing strategy toward the direct users of the platform as well as toward firms offering applications that are complementary to the platform. We compare industry structures based on a proprietary platform (...
