OERu/OERu 16.10 Meeting/Group 2 Technology roadmap

Task To plot the OERu technology roadmap for 2017 and beyond and to brainstorm strategic technology projects for the OERu partnership

Existing resources

 * OERu technology blog
 * OER World Map

Technology roadmap

 * SSO is main thing
 * Integrating blockchain in credentialing
 * promoting open alternatives (e.g. Appear.in over Skype)

Strategic technology projects

 * Single Sign-On should be a major priority (and might be very valuable for partners if we can get it working)
 * Open Badge Backpack ("blockchain-ready")
 * After MediaWiki, what next... (can we achieve that "best of both worlds" solution that retains the flexibility and rigour of MediaWiki with the ease of collaborative content management of WordPress)
 * Create an open, safe place for partner representatives to express technology needs and get feedback on tool options (and succinct insight into pros and cons) from the open source world. (see Note below)

Decision recommendations
Don't forget to assign responsibility for implementing the decisions - i.e who will do it
