This is a really interesting project on several levels. At first glance, it's a way for government departments to share learning resources with each other. But then I found that it's openly accessible to the world (I tested) and that the resources are also open (I found instances of public domain, CC-by, and CC-by-NC). Astute readers will also note thast the URL provided is under the eCampus Ontario domain, which suggests what could be a really fruitful partnership. What's available now launched at the beginning of the month and is just a beta version, and there are only 29 items available, and a lot of questions remain unanswered (for example, about content curation, about open APIs, about federation, about commercial course providers using OERs as advertising, etc). But overall I'm just delighted; it represents a sea-change at the Canada School of Public Services since I worked with them on a couple of projects a few years ago. Here's a backgrounder from last year.
