The Jorum Paradata Enhancement Project: Integrating Discovery and Usage Analytics for Open Educational Resources

Jorum is a national open repository service to UK post-16 education. Funded by Jisc, and run by Mimas at the University of Manchester, Jorum enables sharing and discovery of open educational resources (OER). Mimas and Cottage Labs recently worked together to take two prototype interfaces for Jorum (one providing discovery and the other providing statistics/paradata) and rationalise them into a production-ready system. This produced a novel and flexible user interface which allows end-users to switch between discovery and reporting interfaces with ease, meeting the many and complex needs of the Jorum community.
