DiscoverEd – Discover the Universe of Open Educational Resources
http://discovered.creativecommons.org/search/

DiscoverEd is an experimental project from ccLearn which attempts to provide scalable search and discovery for educational resources on the web. Metadata, including the license and subject information available, are exposed in the result set. They are particularly interested in open educational resources (OER) and are collaborating with other OER projects to improve search and discovery capabilities for OER, using DiscoverEd and other available tools. DiscoverEd is a prototype intended to explore how structured data may be used to enhance the search experience; there are a number of known issues. Read their white paper that describes the rationale for and design of DiscoverEd, as well as our thoughts regarding possible future enhancements that could make the tool, or other search tools like it, even more compelling. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Academic and Scholar Search Engines and Sources White paper.
