Learning Resource Catalogue

Progress with U21 Resource Bank -   LRC3 (Tony Koppi)

During the workshop, participants provided feedback on LRC3 as a catalogue of learning objects:

• Positive aspects
  • Avoids duplication
  • E-learning
  • Cost-effective
  • Altruistic
  • Communication
  • Adds value to courses
  • Academic/personal recognition
• Challenges
  • U21 – staff not involved (top down approach)
  • Objects (eg. images) available from other databases
  • Ease of use (interface, the password requirement)
  • Keeping materials up to date
  • Ownership issues need clarification
  • Catalogue functions need to be effective
• Solutions
  • Need endorsement from U21 managers/VCs
  • Interoperable with other databases (including IVIMEDS/Ariadne/Merlot?)
  • Involve cataloguers from libraries in evaluation/development
  • Devise a Strategic plan
