3. Jorum is a trusted source of quality OER for UK HE and FE a robust, safe and sustainable hosting platform for OER a showcase for UK learning and teaching resources Jorum can provide security – a national repository service make resources more discoverable provide data about usage reduce costs Using Jorum enriches the community is easy! “Jorum can save us time. Using materials from Jorum means that we do not have to start from scratch and create resources ourselves. There is a wide variety of content so you never know what you might find.” -- Carolyn Groom, Learning Technologist, Integrated Learner Support Services, Carnegie College. Benefits of using Jorum

4. Two main ways to share: Manual – uploading files & adding links. Both types are tagged and searched the same way! Bulk Upload Methods – what we offer now, and what’s coming. Sharing Resources

5. Sharing Resources - Manual Manual – Uploading Files & Adding Links You can upload your files and packages into Jorum, including: Individual files of all types; Zip files containing any number of files; Standard packages with metadata (SCORM and IMS), OR You can put links to externally hosted content in Jorum You can add metadata and licences during upload

6. Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods Bulk Upload Methods – we currently offer: Spreadsheet / CSV template We give you the template, you add the metadata and links, and give it back to us to ingest. There is a way to ingest packages in bulk this way too. RSS Feed We have offered ingest of static RSS Feeds in the past- they don’t support great discoverability within Jorum as each feed is treated as a single resource. We are no longer supporting this for ingest from next year.

7. Bulk Upload Methods – what’s coming next year: SWORD ingest Standard protocol for ingesting files and packages along with their metadata. There will be tools developed for use with this protocol. Accepts IMS and SCORM Packages, zip files, any other filetypes, plus we hope to support METS packages later. OAI-PMH Standard protocol for ingesting metadata and links from other repositories. We’re testing this now – let us know if you offer a feed. Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods

8. Resource Metadata Metadata – what is it good for? Discovery: You want people to find your resources. You want to be able to find your resources again yourself! Measuring success Jorum will soon offer easy-to-generate, easy-to-view and easy- to-share stats about usage of resources. To get access stats in meaningful ways, you need to be able to gather them in meaningful ways, e.g.: Stats on downloads of all resources in your JISC Programme? You need them all tagged with, e.g. “ukoer” Data on the geographical origin of views of your institution’s resources? You need them all tagged with your institution’s name.
