Announcing the Release of H2O v1.1.0

The Berkman Center is proud to announce the 1.1.0 release of the H2O system. The 1.1.0 release is a major step in the evolution of H2O, as it includes the first version of the Idea Exchange components. This initial release of the Idea Exchange components includes all features necessary to host a course entirely on H2O, including resource (readings, notes, videos, etc) uploads and traditional, adhoc discussion boards. More interestingly, the system now facilitates the collaborative development of course syllabi, allowing project leaders not only to upload course materials to the site but also easily to browse, search, and import the materials of other projects into their own projects. Since all syllabi created on the Idea Exchange are covered by a Creative Commons license, project leaders are free to share their ideas with others and thereby to create a community around the free exchange of educational syllabi and content.
