TEL Library is a public, non-profit learning library dedicated to building a scalable and sustainable library of openly licensed, free, and affordable content solutions. We also re-package and re-use that content to offer curriculum solutions (courses, media books, etc.) that enable our partners to offer affordable education. Two things make this possible:
1. Our content design model which is informed by software development models and information science, and
2. WordPress, which we leverage to package and publish, and re-package and re-publish our content.
This presentation will dive into our content design model, and how we use WordPress and an ecosystem of plugins to offer multiple types of content - mediabooks, courses, lessons - to the public and to educational partners. The audience will learn how to develop flexible content around the idea of reusable objects (software development) and taxonomies (information science), how WordPress as a CMS allows for modular content and finally how we deploy the content through WordPress (and plugins!) in multiple ways.
