What is MrCute?• A search system for learning
materials both inside and outside an institution
• An optional add-on repository for Moodle
• A way of storing and sharing materials outside specific courses
Reasons behind development of MrCute
• Create fully functional OS repository module for Moodle
• Increase sharing within an institution• Make repository resources available to all
users of Moodle (inc students)• Allow searching of Jorum and NLN
resources (increase usage and awareness)• Usability (work with tutors with low IT
skills and confidence)
Benefits of MrCute– minimise server space usage– encourage sharing– enable site wide use of materials without
further upload– allow non technical teachers to create IMS
learning packages– easier version control– Searching of JORUM and NLN repositories
