The repository holds a large variety of learning and teaching material which can either be used 'off the shelf' or to create bespoke learning materials. As well as COLEG packs, the repository holds material from a wide range of projects including CeLLS, BlendEd and the COLEG instructional design project. Content includes online courses as well as traditional COLEG paper-based material, and ranges from full courses to short pieces designed to support specific learning.
The repository is currently open to the key contacts and designated content depositors within each of COLEG’s member colleges. Wider roll-out to other college staff will commence in January 2009 with a view to all colleges having access by the end of June 2009.
Information events and training events for key contacts and depositors were held throughout 2008 at Cumbernauld College, Inverness College, and COLEG. Further workshops will be arranged for new staff as required.
A new build of the current repository software was received on 31 October 2008. This is the Beta version of intraLibrary 3.0.
All key contacts and depositors were invited to attend a consultation event on Tuesday 9 December 2008 at COLEG in Stirling. At the event this key group had the opportunity to discuss plans for the wider roll-out of the repository within their colleges and to influence COLEG’s future development of the system. To help inform the discussion, key contacts and depositors had been asked to complete an online survey in advance of the event.
The repository will continue to grow and develop as a great resource for Scotland's colleges and their learners.
