Digital Repository

The digital repository is a collection of learning objects that target client needs. A learning object can be as small as a paragraph or as large as a complete online course and come in the form of HTML/Text files, simulations, JAVA, Flash, QuickTime movies etc. Learning objects have arisen in response to the need for high-quality, reusable instructional materials that are organized to be easily searchable.

·         All learning objects in the repository will be meta-tagged and classified in content maps according to content taxonomy and learning objects metadata (LOM) rules and guidelines

Online search engines that search the whole web simply bring back too many results. Instructional materials like policy guides, assignments, simulations, websites, tutorials, matrices and other kinds of formats and media expressions are easier to find from within a contained collection.

The repositories that hold the learning objects have well researched user interfaces and architectures that make them easy to use and permits various levels of interactivity including search, submissions, comments/reviews, and creating personal collections.

·         The repository can also be integrated to a payment system while allows public access to the rich and interactive learning objects that are already residing in it. Outside users can pay a fee to access a certain number of LOs in a certain subject.

·         The digital repository offering can also be linked to international digital repositories to form a digital repository federation. Users will have access to other resources that are available in an another repository.
