This area is an archive of the conceptual work for the NSDL&= nbsp;STEM Exchange, and the evolving notion of paradata, a resource-centric= way to reflect usage data for digital resources. This information doc= uments effort from 2010 to the present, and reflects significant overlap wi= th the Department of Education / Department of Defense Lear= ning Registry initiative. 6/2= 5/2013
The STEM Exchange is language referring to the implementation of an NSDL= web service to capture and share social media-generated information and ot= her networked associations about educational resources, in collaboration wi= th a range of STEM education partners.
Through open source applications, online communities of educational prac= titioners will be able to integrate customizable datastreams about resource= s from NSDL and other providers directly into their user platforms. The soc= ial media activities of practioner communities will generate data about how= resources are being used in different contexts that the STEM Exchange will= assemble into resource profiles incorporating both hand-crafted and automa= tically captured information. The resulting data about resource use will be= fed back into resource profiles to assist users in discovering and utilizi= ng educational materials and to enhance resource providers' understanding o= f how their materials are being disseminated, used, and contextualized by p= ractitioners.
