About RUBRIC
The RUBRIC Project http://rubric.edu.au is trying to achieve the following outcomes for its partners:
- Adopt “best practice” emerging from the FRODO projects (Vital, Fez, DSpace) - not reinvent the wheel or start developing something new, but be able to contribute regional experiences to debate in the Australian context
- Provide a centralized base for assistance to RUBRIC partners, which are generally smaller regional organizations with limited resources
- Set up a first generation solution for all partners (or second generation for partners with some existing experience, such as USQ)
- To build a central resource for investigating, researching and making recommendations on IR developments - where issues can’t be resolved, they will at least be documented and thrown open for debate
- Building a knowledge base for software evaluation, data management issues, community engagement and monitoring of national and international developments in this field
RUBRIC Project Partners include:
- University of Southern Queensland (lead institution)
- University of Newcastle (IRUA liason)
- Murdoch University
- Flinders University
- Macquarie University
- University of New England
- University of the Sunshine Coast
- Massey University (NZ)
