Scalable LOR Deployment Griff Richards BCIT Technology Centre
Vision: • Sustainable eLearning Environments growing in an eco-system of scalable components for core, community and individual participants.
Critical Success Factors • Instant gratification • Robust tools • Ease of use
Current Situation • Large Solutions for communities • Portal approach => Maintenance & Support Issues • Individuals shy away from control
A brief history of time… • POOL I- Centralized not whole solution • POOL II- POOL ,POND & SPLASH • Napsterish P2P for individuals AND orgs • Scalable tools • eduSource Communications Layer (ECL)- interoperability in a global community • Now linking ECL + P2P with OKI + Internet 2

The world does not stand still. Adoption of technology is based upon how well or how timely it solves today’s problems or creates a new vision of the future.
Convergence? • Organizational Knowledge • Community Knowledge • Personal Knowledge • Independent yet linked • Tools for real user needs The rights to create, to consume, to contribute and to manage knowledge
Trends • Cost reductions through reusability of content and infrastructure components • Collaboration in open source developments • Scaleable solutions • Interoperability is key Issues • Moving Target • On-going support • Tight time$ • Us
