Wise Technology Lessons: Moving from a Local Proprietary System to a Global Open Source Framework
نویسندگان
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.

متن کاملTwo-Sided Competition of Proprietary vs. Open Source Technology Platforms and the Implications for the Software Industry
T platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, are the hubs of technology industries. 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 (...
متن کاملThe Consequences of an Open ATE Architecture
Open Architecture Feasibility But is a common, open ATE architecture feasible or wise? The technical requirements for a common, open architecture in ATE are centered on the need to partition the hardware and software into well-defined modules with clean and stable interfaces. This is required to provide multiple vendors the ability to source significant ATE solutions. Current software and hardw...
متن کاملLocal Research Catalyzes National Surgical Planning; Comment on “Global Surgery – Informing National Strategies for Scaling Up Surgery in Sub-Saharan Africa”
In 2015 the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (LCoGS) argued that surgical care is important to national health systems along with the economic viability of countries. Gajewski and colleagues outlined how the Commission’s blueprint has been implemented in sub-Saharan Africa, including two funded research projects that were integrated into national surgical plans. Here...
