Welcome to the Obojobo wiki!
Obojobo (now Obojobo-Classic) started in 2005 to realize UCF's Center for Distributed Learning's vision for learning objects. Defining learning objects was a larger discussion happening across Higher Ed at the time.
UCF decided to define the size and shape of learning objects, and build a platform to use them. Early designs were heavily influenced by larger, high investment learning initiatives. An example of this was the UCF Libraries' Information Fluency modules, part of UCF's Quality Enhancement Plan - tightly bound to UCF's accreditation.
Obojobo was a great success in this arena because of the vast amount of data it collected combined with it's ease of use. Creating a module once and reusing it hundreds of times proved very valuable.
Over the next 10 years, the development team developed a vision for the next version that could take advantage of all the things they learned serving modules to one of the largest state institutions in the US.
Obojobo Next aims to combine those lessons with dramatic advancements in web browser technology. We're creating a new, open platform to shape the future of digital learning.
The team behind Obojobo is a group of specialized software developers dedicated to design, user experience, and educational innovation. The team varies in size, anywhere from 2 to 8 or more. We've experienced tangible benefits from seeking a range of perspectives and backgrounds within our team. Including current students, senior level experts, and faculty of differing backgrounds helps us create better software.
