openEQUELLA 2019.1 released

The Apereo Foundation today announced the release of openEQUELLA 2019.1, the latest version of the open source platform.

openEQUELLA 2019.1 represents an important re-positioning of the platform, with the introduction of a Cloud Provider framework that enables the dynamic creation of new services into openEQUELLA. The addition of Cloud Providers ensures openEQUELLA is more accessible to the open source developer community, decreases time-to-market for new features, and increases the ability to leverage new cloud technologies.

openRSD was released by Edalex in 2022 to help create, store and share rich skill descriptors (RSDs) and RSD collections. openRSD uses Edalex’s open source technology stack to create locally- and globally-relevant libraries of RSDs that are open to all contributors and consumers. RSDs are the building blocks of a skills-driven labour market. They structure skills data, add context around a particular skill and are both human and machine readable. RSDs bring equity to the learner and the skills ecosystem and provide an even playing field for skills recognition.
