Learning Object Repositories

Is it too little, too late for K-12 ???

Where it all Began - A Brief History of Learning Object Repositories

In 2000 - 20+ different learning object repository projects and initiatives in Canada

Post secondary focus - CAREO, CLOE,POOL,Savoir, TILE, etc

K-12 projects were limited to SchoolNet, and those funded by districts/provinces

Page 3: K-12 LORs, Too LIttle, Too Late?

What was Happening in K -12?

Rapid growth in the number and interest

in online learning programs

Each province/district implementing their

own program

Lack of resources for teachers and no

easy way to share

Let’s not Reinvent the Wheel!

*@#&% Metadata !

Endless debate about standards, tags, definition of learning object, interoperability, reusability, etc

Countless $$ spent addressing these issues

Edusource established to create a network of linked repositories, tools across Canada

And us?

AOC (Alberta Online Consortium), BC Campus and Open School issued joint RFP for LOR software

Criteria - demonstrated functionality and robustness, customizable, ability to link to any common LMS

Successful proponent - Equella (The Learning Edge) from Australia.

Challenge for OpenSchool BC

Problem: How do you create a Learning Object Repository without funding????

Solution: Use teachers!!

Goal is/was to create a space where educators can share,

exchange and review digital resources. Content can

range from full units in html, to worksheets in Word,

flash animations, interactive resources, images, maps,

podcasts, pdf files, lesson plans, ……!

Asked pilot teachers to contribute

items

Made it available to all teachers in

BC at no charge

Seeded with content from Open

School, COOL School, other orgs
