7. S-team production workflow Authoring: selecting the right tool and output format, choosing the license Storing: S-team Wiki, local servers, Scientix Promoting: metadata to Scientix portal and to national portals, RSS, recommenders, SIR, MOL Adapting: localisation, adding to collections, new versions (NB! CC-BY-SA) Re-using: online learning environments
8. Open issues Privacy and copyright issues restrict the use of Creative Commons licenses Scientix metadata form is “too heavy” for authors – support is needed MOL-AD support is needed from Scientix How to reach the teacher educators? Web 2.0 (RSS, Widgets, recommenders) does not work LeMill.net would solve many problems, but authors prefer DOC, PPT
