Development Bay • Definition from Lorna Campbell and Steve Jeyes: • The development bay is a digital repository for the storage, management and distribution of reusable educational resources (RIOs, RLOs, QTI items, UoS). • The development bay will allow users to search for resources, adapt, re-purpose and aggregate resources, upload and download resources and describe, classify and comment on resources. • The development bay will also provide access to, and interoperate with, the necessary tools to allow users to undertake these tasks. • The development bay must conform to appropriate learning technology interoperability standards and specifications.
Support • JORUM+ working with CETIS, TOIA and RELOAD on a programme of support • First workshop today – more to come • Project website to provide help documentation and access to deposit facilities • Further development in 2003 to include cross-searching interface from September 2003 • Direct project support from CETIS and the data centres
To contact us • 5/99 staff - how to prepare materials for deposit, interoperability, metadata etc – contact Sarah.McConnell@ed.ac.uk • X4L staff - how to prepare materials for deposit, interoperability, metadata etc – contact M.Power@bolton.ac.uk • 5/99 and X4L staff – obtaining userids, depositing materials, using systems: • intraLibrary contact Sarah.McConnell@ed.ac.uk • Xtensis contact Adrian.Stevenson@man.ac.uk • General project enquiries – Moira.Massey@ed.ac.uk Details on JORUM+ flyer in your packs
Experimental Phase of JORUM+ • Commences today • Website v.1 goes live with access to intraLibrary and Xtensis • Each project can upload up to 10 objects • Tell us how you get on • We need to define • educational metadata requirements for JORUM+ provisional repository • what projects need in terms of “development bay” facilities • Vendors will start v.2 of systems over the Summer in light of requirements
