Edu Sharing Network

With modern free technologies, we network educational organizations to share learning content, software tools and educational templates. In our non-profit association, users, developers and education experts pool their resources. Together, we create secure, networked education clouds and unlock learning content and e-learning tools. Project ITsJOINTLY since 2022: Scalable AI-based management of educational content Project since 2025: Idea competition and hackathons for OER software solutions since 2022 we count for the OER statistics

since 2016: OER & IT Summer Camp (Hackathon) - Concepts & Prototypes for OER Simply collect learning materials - share, create and use them in connected learning platforms. Discover the treasures of your content sources, examine their quality and licenses and organize them into collections. Offer learning material, tools and learning scenarios in a single e-learning service portal or a public OER repository. Tim Wiegers, Virtual Campus Rhineland-Palatinate edu-sharing software enables you to network your learning platforms and other educational software.

Share learning content, metadata and tools - make them available in an educational cloud and let your users use them in all connected systems. edu-sharing is an open-source e-learning integration solution. The core of the system is a repository for the cooperative creation, management, and usage of objects such as files, links, instances of integrated tools and courses of connected learning management systems such as... Through open interfaces, different edu-sharing repositories can be connected to each other as well as to diverse repositories or repository networks. This enables the exchange of content and educational know-how across the borders of systems and organizations and between disparate learning management systems and other e-learning tools connected to such repositories. edu-sharing is mainly targeting educational applications.

In this context it is used to: Content can be managed using a web-based user interface or via WebDAV. The system offers different search options such as a faceted search. edu-sharing supports arbitrary metadata sets such as LOM and Dublin Core. For the usage of content stored in the repository in an educational scenario, the system offers interfaces to systems such as Moodle, ILIAS, OLAT, and MediaWiki. A novel rendering service enables the usage of content that is not natively supported by learning management systems.

Examples for such content items are SCORM-courses, QTI-compliant tests and drills, H5P-objects audio and video files or courses of specific learning management systems. To facilitate the re-use of content, users may attach licenses (e.g. Creative Commons) to their content. Compared to other repository systems for learning content, edu-sharing offers some outstanding features: The edu-sharing network is coordinated by edu-sharing.net e.V., a non-profit association based in Weimar, Germany. The association also runs offices in Chongqing, China, and Krems, Austria.

The association was founded in February 2010 by key members of the DFG-funded project and competence center in e-learning, CampusContent,[4][5] supporters from the IT industry who are involved in the project’s technology development, and... The association's mission is to drive the future development of open-source software through a growing network of stakeholders, including IT-service providers, content owners from various domains, educational experts, and content and methodology users. As part of the yearly summit, the members of the association vote for the community roadmap, which accounts for 25% of the total roadmap votes. The edu-sharing technology is the outcome of several years of research and development activities in the "CampusContent" project carried out at FernUniversität in Hagen. The project received a major grant from the DFG from 2004 to 2009. CampusContent was initiated and directed by Bernd Krämer and inspired by an earlier EC-funded project, EuropeMMM,[6] he was involved in from 1996 to 1999.

EuropeMMM demonstrated for the first time the joint development of multimedia materials among authors, publishers, and educators, and their customised supply to users through a shared content repository. CampusContent extended this idea to the development of a competence center for the production, collection, quality assurance, distribution and re-use of modular multimedia content and codified educational know-how. CampusContent targeted academic education and promoted the idea of open educational resources and open source. edu-sharing is an open-source e-learning integration solution.

Mit modernen freien Technologien vernetzen wir Bildungsorganisationen, um Lerninhalte, Softwarewerkzeuge und pädagogische Vorlagen zu teilen.

In unserem gemeinnützigen Verein bündeln Anwender, Software- und Bildungsfachleute ihre Ressourcen. Gemeinsam gestalten wir sichere, vernetzte Bildungsclouds und erschließen Lerninhalte und E-Learning-Tools. Dieser Grundidee entspringt unser Slogan: Projekt ITsJOINTLY seit 2022: Skalierfähige KI-basierte Verwaltung von Bildungsinhalten Projekt seit 2025: Ideenwettbewerb und Hackathons für OER-Softwarelösungen seit 2022 zählen wir für die OER-Statistik

seit 2016: OER- & IT-Sommercamp (Hackathon) - Konzepte & Prototypen für OER Content management system for learning and work environments Search engine for media and learning content Secure cloud solution for shared e-learning infrastructures Features that are particularly interesting for teachers: Create and structure your own collections - sort materials to facilitate the retrieval of learning materials.

You can crate collections just for yourself, with colleagues or in an open community. Decide who has which permission for your collection. Die Bildungsbranche steht an einem Wendepunkt: KI, offene Infrastruktur und gemeinschaftliche Datenräume bieten uns die Chance, Bildung nicht nur zu digitalisieren – sondern neu zu gestalten. Doch diese Zukunft entsteht nicht von allein.Sie braucht Menschen aus der Praxis, die Verantwortung übernehmen, Werkzeuge mitdenken, Standards prägen und mutig ausprobieren. Mit dieser Webinarreihe laden wir genau euch ein, die Gestalter:innen einer gemeinsamen KI-Bildungsinfrastruktur zu sein. Statt isolierte Lösungen zu bauen, wollen wir Wissen, Werkzeuge und Daten verknüpfen – offen, nachnutzbar und anschlussfähig.

Jedes Webinar ist ein Baustein auf diesem Weg: praxisnah, kollaborativ und so gestaltet, dass eure Fragen, Bedarfe und Erfahrungen direkt einfließen. Nicht zuschauen – mitgestalten. Dieses „Webinar-Buffet“ ist mehr als eine Fortbildungsreihe. Es ist ein gemeinsamer Entwicklungsraum für die Zukunft von Bildung mit KI. Los geht es Anfang Dezember 2025! Online und kostenlos.

Lerninhalte einfach einsammeln, teilen, gemeinsam erstellen und in angeschlossenen Lernplattformen nutzen. Die Schätze von Lehrenden und Contentquellen erschließen, Qualität und Lizenzierung prüfen, in Lehrpläne oder Themensammlungen ordnen. In einem internen E-Learning-Service-Store oder öffentlichen OER-Repositorium Lerninhalte, Tools und Lernszenario-Vorlagen bereitstellen. Tim Wiegers, Virtueller Campus Rheinland-Pfalz Mit edu-sharing Software können Lernplattformen, u.a. Bildungssoftware-Systeme, miteinander vernetzt werden, um Lerninhalte, Metadaten und Tools auszutauschen und in einer Bildungscloud auffindbar und in allen angeschlossenen Systemen nutzbar zu machen.
