Streamline

Integrating Repository Function with Work Practice

Background

Learning object repositories have the potential to enhance productivity and quality through effective management of assets relating to assessment, learning and teaching. However unless their use is integrated into existing work practices there is a danger that they will increase rather than decrease the overall workload of staff and therefore be under-utilised. The activities of managing assets and resource discovery, though pivotal to the successful deployment of repositories, are viewed by staff as adding to their administrative overload.  Streamline is therefore exploring ways of integrating these essential functions into the tools and work practices already in place.
