Abstract
The UTAS Blended Learning Model encourages the integration of high quality learning experiences into the student learning experience. Creating high quality learning resources can require a significant investment of time. It is often valuable to find and adapt existing materials, but the process of finding and contributing these resources can be as time-consuming as creating new ones, and it is often difficult to know where to start searching.
The Sharing Learning Resources Project, an Institutional Significance Funding Scheme project for 2014-2015, aims to establish a staff culture of sharing learning resources, and a system to do so. The project team developed a Learning Object Repository (LOR), focussing on improving the system design to allow easy contributions and access to learning resources.
The LOR website is not yet available to all University staff; the purpose of this flipped presentation is to provide participants with an opportunity to preview the system in advance of a potential wider release. The project team is interested in discussion around how use of the LOR might best be integrated into teaching practices, as a tool to support achievement of the Blended Learning Model.
As this is a flipped discussion, participants will be asked to view information and engage with the LOR in advance of the session.
