Useful
Sustainability
•Deliver on promises over a long period of time
•Staff capability
•One object for each concept - reusable
Challenges to sustainability● One or two “experts” with the software
● Our tendency to want to “create to order”
● Potentially a huge number of papers to create for
Let’s get strategic● Set up a steering group:
– Funding Application for release time for this training and investigation
– Training for all teaching library staff in the software and the philosophy of reusability, and getting the buyin from other library staff
– Oversight and quality control of the outcomes of the project
– Keeping an eye on the wider university picture– Marketing our objects to designers and controllers
UsefulnessDo the objects actually teach what we set out to?● Every object is “peer reviewed” by librarians before
going live● Every object is evaluated by a small set of students
before going live – testing the learning outcomes
