I am going to talk about issues surrounding sharing and reuse of educational resources by learning communities through digital repositories. By learning communities I mean teachers, students, researchers, librarians, educational developers, and other staff in institutions of higher and further education. I will focus on socio-cultural, pedagogic and organisational rather than technological issues. The presentation is based on findings from a two year project called Community Dimensions of Learning Object Repositories (CDLOR) funded by the UK Joint Information Systems Committee to scope and investigate the key factors that impact the uptake of digital repositories. The project was led by Glasgow Caledonian University, in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde and Intrallect, which is one of the leading repository software development companies in the UK; and a range of national and international partners, using their repositories and communities as testbeds to apply and evaluate ideas and solutions emerging from the project.
