Technology Factors
Increased Means of Production
Increased Means of Access
Technology Paradigms DigitisationPeer to peer – NapsterSearch engines
Creating a Management and Delivery Gap
ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney
Societal Factors
‘Always on’ society – ‘crackberry’
Our basis need to communicate plus digitisation is creating ‘personal publishing’ – blogs, wikis, texting, podcasts
‘Timeliness and accuracy’ of content overrides contents ‘quality or merit’
ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney
Human Logic Factors
Anyone under 25yrs age is ‘wired’ differently
Assemblers of information, logic based, multi-tasking
An assertion that print based learning is counter intuitive to neurological thinking patterns

Impacting on Your Environment
Digital age is really just starting now
We are ‘talking’ digital but ‘walking’ analogue
Still thinking local not global
Understanding your ‘intellectual capital’

‘Moon Shot’ Fundamentals
Determining which new services are required of us, and their prioritiesCreating new methodologies and processes for managing a wide array of content from multiple sourcesUnderstanding the concepts of granularity and reusabilityUnderstanding an institution’s role within the global publishing exchangesHow to operate in a multi-exchange environment

New Services
‘Super Distribution’Point to multipoint – movie houses doing it now!Tailored assembly capability
SCORM
RELOAD
‘Super Discovery’ – more than Google!Federation across multiple repositories

CORDRA
CORDRA provides federated harvesting of metadata into a central repository where it is searched. The user is 'connected' to the item via a URI – unique identifier.
ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney
OKI
OKI provides a federated search on the existing metadata at the repository site.

Creating New Issues…
How will I categorise new forms of information– a blog, a podcast?How will I decide if information is important enough to categorise?How will I catalogue volatile materials or materials whose value is extraordinarily high but only for a very short period? How will I store and manage information?
When should it be stored as compound or granular objects?Where will I store information? In an LOR, an LCMS, a library system, a shared open source repository, an EDMS? What do I have in place now?
ETD 2005: Evolution Through Discovery – Sydney
New Issues
Can I access legacy content across internal repositories?How will I make information available for reuse - who can access it? Which version and when? Who helps me decide this? Do I need to consider cross-repository requirements or discovery on a federated basis, and what arrangements are in place for that?How will I ensure the integrity of the information and its use – do I have digital right management tools in place? Can I protect against plagiarism? Is the information being used for its intended purposes? Can I resell it if I own it?How will I ensure preservation of material for current and future audiences?

My Current Environment

Deductions
Teachers do not manage content
‘Closed’ LCMS are an impediment
Need to consider content requirements ‘institutional wide’
Replace terms – ‘content’ for ‘intellectual capital’
Copyright is not just a cost

Summary
Think IP not learning contentIntellectual capital institutional wide is your responsibilityThink global not localConsider new methodologies for new timesFocus on an enhanced ‘super discovery’ service as your KPI!
