6. LORNET in GLOBE To attain a critical mass of high quality content both in French and English To help federate the numerous LO repositories in Canada that are dispersed To make the results of the eduSource and LORNET projects more useful To share technology and educational advances with others to foster innovation in the use of learning objects

7. Our Priorities A. Tool set for LOR management B. Federating Canadian Repositories with GLOBE C. Quality Assurance Methodology

8. A- Tool Set: Paloma Web

9. A- Tool Set : PALOMA Search

10. A- Tool Set: PALOMA Open Source Integration LOM Metatagger (LOMPAD) Multiple Repository manager Rights manager Search engines: federated, boolean, classification browsing Communication API LCMS Integration: Explor@, Concept@, Moodle, D2L,… TELOS (LORNET’s assembly system)

11. B- Federating Canadian Repositories with GLOBE UQTR ARIADNE POND LORNET Registry SQI Registry SQI Compliant repositories PALOMA Compliant repositories PALOMA API FSE Client/ PALOMA Client FSE Engine Edna SFU USask Registry to Registry 2 3 1 4 UQAM UQAC

12. B- Federating New Repositories with GLOBE 23 900 ressources being integrated in Quebec A network of 10 Quebec universities: 6000 Université de Moncton (NB) : 2000 College level repository Euréka : 5 000 Ministry of Education and GRICS : 10 000 Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS) : 900 Re-integrate repositories from eduSource network and other sources Discussion started with CMEC: Council of Ministers of Education of Canada

13. C- Quality Assurance Methodology A 2 year project with Globe Partners

14. C- Quality Assurance Design/ Production Deposit and metadata referencing Adaptation and Reuse Life-cycle of a LOR Before inclusion During inclusion After inclusion Quality of the object Quality of Metadata Quality of the process

15. C- Before Inclusion: Identify Quality Criteria, Instructional Design Quality Content Quality Goal Alignment Feedback and Adaptability Motivation Visual Design Usability Accessibility Reusability Standard conformance

16. C- During Inclusion Search for Repository Quality not the individual quality of the LR. The quality of the metadata and of the referencing method (procedures and principles) applied. Ways to favor author’s responsability and motivation Multi-actor expertise for metadata Reduce form-filling: wizards, automatic or semi-automatic computer agents

17. C- After Inclusion Retrieval quality, maintenance planned at inclusion Peer reviews, evaluations from actual users/reusers. Advertise innovative and high quality resources Provide recommendations to authors for improvements Propose search options: metadata, classification, free text etc.
