Those of you with an interest in repositories for teaching and learning
materials may be interested in the recent ADL Repositories and
Registries Summit, which took place online and Washington (well, ok,
Alexandria VA) on 13-14 April. This was organized by ADL (Advanced
Distributed Learning, the people behind SCORM) to review state of
repositories and registries for learning materials in response to some
plans for large scale federal funding initiatives for learning materials
in the US. Much of the discussion
I would recommend following as good summaries:

and Nick Nicholas's series of blog posts at
