  2. VLOP origins • Desire expressed by many librarians throughout Virginia for improved instructional aids for VIVA resources • Provide help to VIVA institutions which might have fewer resources for instruction and outreach • Support effort to expand and strengthen use of VIVA resources • Reduce costs: avoid reinventing the wheel • Stimulate creativity and further development of learning objects for online resources

  4. Operating and managing VLOP • Many successful examples for technology foundation • LOEX • MERLOT • SCOUT Portal • Drawbacks: designed as repositories; not focused on Virginia resources • Wiki • Technology already widely established in academic libraries • Excellent and easily-used content and editorial tools • Strong design for instruction and providing assistance • Well-suited to organizing, linking, and collaboration goals of VLOP • Editorial and content oversight • Nature of Wiki technology requires broad participation • VIVA accomplishes all goals with a collaboration-and-contribution model • Updated, renewed, and expanding content essential to success • Broad scope is a goal: start with VIVA, but eventually contain Web-based learning aids related to teaching any online content or search system

  5. What’s been done so far • Develop proposal • VIVA Outreach: define goal and scope • Endorsed by VIVA Steering Committee • Explore design scenarios • Reality check for concept • Is there enough content, need, and support for this? • Meeting of over 24 academic librarians from across the State, June 8, 2007 • Meeting confirmed sufficient material and interest to go forward • Identified two key issues • Editorial control and oversight • Publicity and awareness of portal key to success • Create prototype as sandbox for VLOP • Populate with diverse examples of learning objects
