The (US) Learning Registry

 <http://www.learningregistry.org>

Launched - November 7, 2011

The US Learning Registry is a new approach to capturing, sharing, and
analyzing learning resource data to broaden the usefulness of digital
content to benefit educators and learners.

Not a website or repository… not a search engine… and not a replacement
for the excellent sources of online learning content that already exist…

..the Learning Registry is an open source technical system designed to
facilitate the exchange of data behind the scenes, and an open community
of resource creators, publishers, curators, and consumers who are
collaborating to broadly share resources, as well as information about
how those resources are used by educators in diverse learning
environments across the Web.

Use & Share

Use the Learning Registry to share...

-  metadata that describe learning resources
-  ratings, reviews, comments, and other annotation data
-  alignments to educational standards
-  usage information such as favoriting, foldering, remixing,
  embedding, and other social metadata / paradata
-  resource updates, relationships between resources, and      other
  assertions

Get Started...
Technical specifications and implementation guides are available to help
