Creating and sharing digital content: promises and pitfalls
Thursday 16 July 2009, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk.
This event is being hosted by SOLSTICE CETL.
Digital teaching materials and resources are widely perceived to be more
sharable and reusable than traditional printed versions. The current debate on
the future of Higher Education has produced a vision of online and blended
learning supported by a core of open access learning resources available to
universities and beyond. Reuse and adaptation (repurposing) of such content
is considered to have the potential to support scalable and sustainable
diffusion of elearning within and between organisations.
This seminar offers participants the opportunity to hear from UK based teams
about their experiences in relation to the reuse, repurposing and sharing of
digital content in the real world. The speakers have all undertaken work in
this area and the event will be an opportunity for practitioners who are
operating within different contexts to share their experiences of creating,
sharing and applying digital content. It will also offer participants an
opportunity to consider what and how strategic, cultural and practical
conditions can foster or inhibit reuse and sharing of digital content.
