[edit] overview

The exporter tool helps users move content out of OERca. This means not only selecting a destination for the content, but packaging it up appropriately and sending it to the right place. The packaging of the content means recomposing documents (embedding metadata, license tags, image replacements, etc.) and putting the content into a structured package depending on where it needs to go. For example, a user downloading 4 powerpoint files for editing will get those files, embedded with the appropriate changes they've made in OERca, in a zip file delivered to the desktop. As another example, a user sending 30 images to Flickr will get a package of the images and the appropriate Flickr metadata (title, description, tags, camera information, etc.) sent directly to the designated Flickr account. As a final example, an OCW publisher could package up all the edited documents from a course in a particular hierarchy (using the labels in the organizer module), that is ready for transport to Sakai via the IMS Common Cartridge package.
