2.
We live in the age of
content abundance
LO’s are everywhere!

3.
We pursue the 4 R’s
Reuse Redistribute
Revise Remix

4.
Important factors for LO’s
Granularity / size
Open format
License

5.
Plenty of LOR’s
MERLOT, CAREO
OpenCourseWare

6.
But are these LO’s reused?
Language
Standards
Editing tools

7.
Repository main goals
Ensure preservation
Promote reutilization
Other: positioning

8.
Repositories are mainly…
…institutional
…managed by librarians
…not user-centered

9.
UOC open repositories
O2: institutional
OER: thematic

10.
LOR on Statistics (DSpace)
Exercises Examples
Data Tables
Equations Graphics
Simulations

11.
Learning Objects are…
…diverse
…heterogeneous
…created by teachers
and students

12.
…and Learning is…
…more than just
structured
organized
content

13.
Learning can be seen as…
…connecting concepts
…putting them
into context

14.
…so LOR’s need to be…
…integrated into the
learning process
…learner-centered

15.
browsing and searching
LO’s must be findable
…but then, what else?

16.
Once a LO is found…
…the learner should be
able to share his/her
learning experience

17.
Actions on LO’s
…comment / ask
…rate / favorite
…tag
…share / subscribe

18.
The LOR becomes…
…part of an e-portfolio
…a community of
practice / learning
…a continuous support

19.
Project status
Create a new UI
Permanent handles
Promote del.icio.us
Gather + analyze data
