Technology Workpackage update September 30, 2009
Posted by IanMathers in : Comms, Technology , trackbackAs this is our first blog on the SHARE project, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the NTU team for inviting us to participate on the project. For Desire2Learn, this is a great opportunity to work closely with our partners to help encourage sharing of educational content. We firmly believe that Desire2Learn’s Learning Repository is the most useful repository available, but in the end, without integrating the technology within an effective enterprise-wide process, the true benefit of the technology is not fully realised. By working closely with such strong leaders as the NTU team, we can ensure that our solution supports and encourages the project’s goals.
The main Desire2Learn contacts for this project are Yvonne Monterroso and Ian Mathers. Yvonne is the Learning Repository Technical Product Manager, which means that she is the Product Manager within our Product Development group. Yvonne is responsible for the features and content of the Learning Repository Product, which means that she really is the expert on how the Learning Repository works. I am (it is Ian writing this) the Program Manager, which means that I am responsible for managing our development team and projects. Yvonne and I work really closely together, so you will see blogs from both of us in the future.
Our contact information is:

Technical Product Manager, eP/LOR

Yvonne and I will be updating the blog with information about the Desire2Learn Learning Repository and the research that we are doing on behalf of this project, plus any other great features that we think you may be interested in. If you have anything that you want us to blog about, please let us know! With my Project Manager hat on, I have posted the Scope document to the Technology Workpackage area of the WIKI. Comments are welcomed!

Personally I would like to add how exciting it is to have partnership with our colleagues from across the pond. I feel D2L’s active involvement in this project will be an opportunity for us to share and develop exepriences internationally with regard publishing and repurposing learning content.
