benefit from using and participating
with the learning registry the learning
registry is a national online platform
that allows the educational community to
publish and consume open educational
resources these are learning materials
that are freely available to use remix
and redistribute the learning registry
is an open source system that websites
can integrate for specialized uses such
as learning object repositories resource
portals community portals and learning
management systems it provides the
technical infrastructure and community
practices for sharing and transporting
information about learning resources
across systems you may ask why not just
use popular search engines to find
education resources well many resources
available on the Internet are not posted
by trusted sources the resources may or
not be linked to learning standards and
searching requires a lot of time to be
spent finding and assessing the value
and use of resources using the learning
registry allows educators resource
creators publishers curators and
consumers to share metadata that
describes learning resources ratings
reviews comments and other annotation
