Repository of the Month: November
LoLa Exchange
According to Sam Ottenhoff , "LOLA serves multiple purposes. At its home at Wesleyan, it serves as a way for us to keep track of the Learning Objects that we are developing as part of our Learning Objects project. We will be able to use LOLA to present our Learning Objects rather than having to make a container for each object by hand. It will also allow us to discover materials developed by other faculty that we might otherwise not know about. Within the context of the group of schools participating in this project, it will make visible materials that we otherwise would not know are available at our institutions."
To learn more about RLO repositories, there is a fantastic video that explains about learning objects, repositories and how they can be used. What was even better - was that I can use the example that they provide in my water quality classes - yahoo!
What I like about the LOLA repository is that even though the collection is currently rather small, the RLOs contained in the repository are modular - they have a lot of materials and applications. Basically, they have been designed for use across the curriculum.
I urge you to take some time to browse through the collection at:
