“Jorum can save us time. Using materials
from Jorum means that we do not have to
start from scratch and create resources
ourselves. There is a wide variety of
content so you never know what you
might find.” -- Carolyn Groom, Learning
Technologist, Integrated Learner Support
Services, Carnegie College.
Benefits of using Jorum
Two main ways to share:
• Manual – uploading files & adding links.Both types are tagged and searched the same way!
• Bulk Upload Methods – what we offer now, and
what’s coming.
Sharing Resources
Sharing Resources - Manual
Manual – Uploading Files & Adding Links• You can upload your files and packages into Jorum,
including:• Individual files of all types;• Zip files containing any number of files;• Standard packages with metadata (SCORM and IMS), OR
• You can put links to externally hosted content in Jorum• You can add metadata and licences during upload
Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods
Bulk Upload Methods – we currently offer:• Spreadsheet / CSV template
• We give you the template, you add the metadata and links, and give it back to us to ingest.
• There is a way to ingest packages in bulk this way too.
• RSS Feed• We have offered ingest of static RSS Feeds in the past- they
don’t support great discoverability within Jorum as each feed is treated as a single resource.
• We are no longer supporting this for ingest from next year.
Bulk Upload Methods – what’s coming next year:• SWORD ingest
• Standard protocol for ingesting files and packages along with their metadata.
• There will be tools developed for use with this protocol.• Accepts IMS and SCORM Packages, zip files, any other filetypes,
plus we hope to support METS packages later.
• OAI-PMH• Standard protocol for ingesting metadata and links from other
repositories.• We’re testing this now – let us know if you offer a feed.
Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods
Resource Metadata
Metadata – what is it good for?• Discovery:
• You want people to find your resources.• You want to be able to find your resources again yourself!
• Measuring success• Jorum will soon offer easy-to-generate, easy-to-view and easy-
to-share stats about usage of resources.• To get access stats in meaningful ways, you need to be able to
gather them in meaningful ways, e.g.:• Stats on downloads of all resources in your JISC Programme? You need
them all tagged with, e.g. “ukoer”• Data on the geographical origin of views of your institution’s resources?
You need them all tagged with your institution’s name.
