Online sharing educational content on biodiversity topics: a case study from organic agriculture and agroecology

Abstract

E-Learning Technologies and Standards are emerging as the dominant way to make educational content widely available. Approaches to these technologies should be domain-independent and easily adaptable to different contexts. Organic.Edunet aims at making content on Organic Agriculture and Agroecology widely available through a single point of reference. To achieve this, the project has adopted and adapted Open Software solutions and has built upon them to offer the Organic.Edunet Web Federation Portal and the Repository Suite of Tools. This paper presents the tools that were developed in the frame of Organic.Edunet project, serving as a guide for all individuals that aim at establishing similar tools in a field such as the biodiversity.
