Learning Object Repository Release October 7, 2009
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackI can’t believe I have not blogged on this. Just to let you all know that our Learning Object Repository tool was released on 1st October. We have two pilots that needed to start at the beginning of the academic year, one in our
School of Arts and Humanities being run by Trevor Pull another is being run by Jon Fletcher one of our academic liaison librarians. Staff within Schools can now begin publishing to their School LOR. There is also an NTU LOR staff will be able to publish to that via a coordinator role within the School. Our next tasks will include:
- developing training and support guidance
- organising our first workshop
- testing the specs from requirements analysis
- investigating creative commons
- creating metadata guidelines
- and last and by no means least encouraging staff to use the LOR

I’m thrilled to read that last point Vicki! Making users aware of the tool and encouraging use is likely the most important part of training for the tool that needs to be done.
