OERbit: Screenshots of the Publishing Process

Logging into OERbit


Authorized users can log into OERbit and participate in the publishing of all sorts of content. Just append "/user" to your site url to get to the login page.

Editing a Page


Once logged in, you can go to any page (different users can be set up with different roles and permissions for publishing) and using the WYSIWYG editor, make changes.



You can also click the "Source" button and directly edit the HTML.

Adding Content


The buttons on the left make it easy to add your next piece of content, whether it be a new organizational unit, a course, or a page.

Add a Course or Resource


When you add a course or a resource, you have a bundle of metadata you can add. Most of this data is exposed in RDFa on the page.



Each course or resource can have its own Creative Commons license (or Public Domain designation)!



You can also use the workflow system to help guide your publishing team through the phases. If it's just you, go ahead and skip all those steps: hit PUBLISH!

Add Content to Your Course or Resource


There is lots of content you can add to your course or resource: materials/files, overview sliders, highlights, or sessions (sessions are a way to build the course just the way you like it).



You can upload materials singly or in a zip file under the "Materials" tab. Each material can specify its own CC license, too!

Configuring Drupal


The publishing interface also allows admins and content managers to make a variety of configuration changes to Drupal. Up here you can add users to the system, view reports, or add and adjust Drupal modules.



The admin interface looks a little different to remind you that you're treading in deeper waters.
