- Different perspectives: Digital Library, LMS/E-Portfolio, Content for
the Public

- Faculty and graduate students create lecture materials from collections
of digital images and associate with syllabus inside campus CMS
- Faculty and/or graduate students create reading lists from within a
Library portal and publish to an independent course web site
- Students gather class presentation materials for use in e-portfolio
tools
- Students gather images, text, citations from multiple sources to develop
a joint presentation for class
- Library curator creates a themed collection of learning materials based
on her subject specialty and publishes it to Library's Subject Resources
web page for use by wide range of scholars

- Stepped back from use cases and looked at strategic assumptions.
- We developed a functional flow, which can be organized into three major
areas: Gather. Create. Share.
|
5
|
- DISCOVER = identify content sources
- SEARCH = find content within sources
- COLLECT = bookmark/link within each content source or within tool,
probably using set formats or templates for types of learning objects or
aggregations of content
- IMPORT = into tool or managed environment, bring or point to content
itself, or metadata about content .
- SAVE = prior to publishing, make a copy for the desktop, external or
non-personal workspace that is managed for collaboration or sharing
- FIND SIMILAR = identify like items, per the Amazon.com model
|
6
|
- DESCRIBE RESOURCE = annotate, interpret, and write about content before
publishing
- ORGANIZE = order, sequence, transform content to create learning object
- ASSOCIATE = declare link between content or learning object and course,
project group or learning objective
- MODIFY = change, edit, annotate content or learning object for re-use
after initial publishing.
Differentiated from Organize in that this function may trigger
other services to selected community members such as Alerts or
Notification related to allowable permissions or conditions to re-use
|

|
- EXPORT = transfer content to other formats and/or tools, e.g.,
PowerPoint, METS. Differs from Save
by its facilitation of supported format, output, packaging of content or
learning object for specific display, rendering, use, storage
environments
- PUBLISH = make formally available to learning environment with
implications for declaration / agreements related to rights for re-use,
short and long term storage and archiving services, and expectations for
content transformation services
- ARCHIVE = establish agreements regarding short or long term storage,
preservation, and delivery services.

- An important problem and product space in building tools and services to
support these functions!
- We do not have any (mature) tools to do this now, although tools are
beginning to appear and interest in this problem space is growing.

- Users and user experience as driver à
- Material / Object Type à
- Sources / Repository technologies à
- Instantiations of “Gather-Create-Share” tool à
- Interoperation with other educational and
information technologies à
- Publishing to Learning Object / Digital
Repositories à
cycle begins anew

- Many higher education institutions
- Sustainable
- Open Source
- Extensible … interoperate with multiple repositories, tools, and
environments
- Campus only or does this serve the public as well
|

|
- This is a use and a reuse exploration
- We need to explore with real tools and users
- Where do users start from and where do recombinant content products end
up?
- New type of product: between collections and learning objects = Learning
Collections
- Need to investigate this across digital library, educational technology,
and alpha geek cultures
- Important moment to work together to carry out a series of demonstration
projects
