The document discusses the development of the Digital Resource Portal (DRP) which aims to make digital learning resources more relevant and personalized for educators and students. It notes that while digital resources are widely available, they are difficult to search for teaching clarity. The DRP would categorize resources by metadata tags and allow searching across different sources/connectors. Next steps discussed include making access easier through single sign-on and personalizing search results based on user behavior and preferences. Integrating the DRP into the national Learning Registry is presented as a way to leverage related usage and preference data.

Users are leaving “data trails” but that usage data
is often thrown away or locked up.

23. Making DRP part of a
national solution:
Learning Registry
Paradata - information about the
user’s ratings or preferences
(Think: Amazon or Netflicks)
Analytical data - information
about user’s interests and past
choices
Linked data - information about
other selections
