HPC-ED is working to improve discovery and sharing of Cyber- Training resources through the combination of the HPC-ED CyberTraining Catalog, an effective and flexible interface, thoughtful metadata design, and active community participation. HPC-ED encourages authors to share training resource information while retaining ownership and allows organizations to enrich their local portals with shared materials. By basing the architecture on an established, flexible framework, HPC-ED can provide a range of solutions people and organizations can employ for sharing and discovering materials. In this paper we describe the initial pilot phase of the project, where we prototyped the HPC-ED catalog, established an initial metadata set, provided documentation, and began using the system to share and discover materials. We gathered community feedback through a variety of means, and are now planning an implementation phase based on evolving our architecture and tools to meet community needs and feedback through improved interfaces and tools designed to address a range of preferences.
