Comment on Musings on the developing OER infrastructure by mhawksey

Blackboard’s xpLor is an interesting development in this area. It’s their new learning object repository service. The idea is having xpLor as a cloud service which integrates into VLE’s using IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) LTI handles the integration of the repository into an VLE which uses LTI. I haven’t seen specifics but imagine this provides a software wrapper to put and get learning objects. What I do know is it uses Course Cartridge and QTI for interoperability.

So should Jorum have an LTI interface?

Comment on Extending the CRIS model to a ukoer workflow? by lornamcampbell

Hi Nick, as I said via e-mail I think this is a very interesting approach and I’ll be intrigued to see if it works.

The RPAG conclusion was actually a comment made by the late Rachel Heery at the final meeting of the group after the programmes ended and I have quoted her in several reports and documents. She made the same point about research materials and also added that greater value could be derived from programmes that focus more on achieving strategic objectives (e.g. improving access to resources) and less on a specific technology to meet these objectives (e.g. repositories).
