Knowledge, Learning, Community
Along with the EdNA HTML services kit, the really good bit here is the EdNA Online XML APIs documentation, linked from this site as an MS Word document. Included in the kit are addresses to the major EdNA RSS news feeds (the main one has been added to my Edu_RSS online learning headlines aggregator). But there's a lot more, including means to search EdNA's resource library and to harvest OAI-compliant EdNA metadata. My major criticism, though, is that most of the useful stuff - such as metadata harvesting - is restricted access only, which really defeats the purpose. EdNA has some top-notch people working for it, but the project itself seems to have been subverted by the 'content hoarding' faction. Too bad; they could be leading the world otherwise.
