Projects: Learning Object Repository Implementation

About

The Learning Object Repository Implementation project will consolidate and implement applications of research undertaken in 2003. The major intention will be to promote, trial and progress the
work of the VET Learning Object Repository project in practical implementation situations on a national basis.

The purpose of the project is to build the capacity of the Australian VET sector to share teaching and learning resources that support flexible delivery through the establishment and
embedding of interoperable principles in the design and development of resource repositories.


Objectives

The Learning Object Repository Implementation project is responsible for:

  • Redeveloping the Toolbox digital repository based on learning object research;
  • Supporting the establishment or adaptation of learning object repositories using the VET Learning Object guidelines, through a range of projects at state, institutional and other levels, using VET structures and platforms;
  • Establishing trials researching trainers' and students' usage of learning objects, and sharing of resources between repositories; and
  • Contributing and responding to national interoperability initiatives including the work of ANTA and the AICTEC Standards Sub-Committee.
