Hi! Are the incubators (or projects?) in the international openEHR CKM "isolated" enough to be used for educational purposes? Are they excluded by default in general CKM searches?
In that case an academic institution (or academic course) could perhaps use an incubator in the openEHR CKM clearly marked as experimental/educational. After a course it might sometimes be desirable to clear (or archive) the incubator in order to have a clean start for next iteration of a course. A good thing with using the international openEHR CKM is that the course participants get used to working in the shared CKM and will register accounts that they can use for "real" shared international archetyping after the course. (If the product can handle a large user base.) It might also make educational efforts more visible. Two big risks with archetyping are: - Fragmented work not contributed back to international shared resources - Not having enough skilled clinical modelers working in the international arena Perhaps both these risks would be somewhat better addressed by learning archetyping in the international openEHR CKM rather than in separate instances?
