Platform Development as an Iterative Process: An OER Design Case of EdTech Books
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this design case, we review the iterative process of designing EdTech Books (ETB)—an online platform through which open educational resources can be published and accessed by the public. We discuss the context and framework within which the platform was created. We then review the chronology of the platform’s evolution through the lens of discovering and addressing challenges the developer faced, particularly those that relate to the 5 Rs of Openness and challenges specific to the publishing of open educational resources (OER).
