Sharing strategies
Majority: resources shared in schools & with colleagues e.g. e-mail, shared drives
Encouraging use
Inspiration; adapt material; store manage own material; enable to identify as creator
Discourage use Usability; misuse of material; no acknowledgement
Focus Group Area Recommendations
Usability & publishing & support
drag n drop; publishing multiple resources; autopopulation of metadata; danger publishing without metadata; look at the language used to describe functions; link to repository more conspicuous
Encouraging staff engagement
Focus on vanity publishing; provide IPR clarity;
Resource Discovery
Options for refining searches for useful resources; interfaces that search a range of repositories
Strategies for Institutional Sharing
Need to discuss how to reduce duplication & overlaps; suggestion that shared should be the default option
