Directrices para la creación de repositorios institucionales en Universidades y en organizaciones de educación superior

El programa ALFA de la Comisión Europea (América Latina Formación
Académica) fomenta y apoya las actividades de cooperación entre universidades
de ambos continentes1.
Las universidades miembros de la Red ALFA Biblioteca de Babel2 asumen
como parte de su misión la búsqueda de la excelencia y de la calidad
educativa. En la propuesta inicial de trabajo se establecía, como uno de
los resultados esperados, la redacción de un documento, a modo de directrices,
sobre el desarrollo de servicios basados en el uso de las nuevas
tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.
El Repositorio Institucional (RI) se entiende como un sistema de información
que reúne, preserva, divulga y da acceso a la producción intelectual
y académica de las comunidades universitarias. En la actualidad el RI se
constituye en una herramienta clave de la política científica y académica
de la universidad.
Por otro lado, el acceso al texto completo de los objetos de aprendizaje
digitales hace que el repositorio se constituya en una pieza de apoyo
fundamental para la enseñanza y la investigación, a la vez que multiplica
la visibilidad institucional en la comunidad internacional.
Dentro de este escenario, las bibliotecas universitarias son el órgano(leer más… pdf)

Repositories ‘vital to UK economy’, delegates hear

Aparte del texto que os traigo hoy, recordar también la Conferencia Online de JISC:

A major conference on digital repositories took place this week in Manchester, attracting nearly 200 delegates from around the UK.

The conference began on Tuesday with an overview from Rachel Bruce, JISC programme director, who explained that although the conference marked the end of JISC’s Digital Repositories programme, this in now way meant the end of JISC’s work and investment in this area. The conference, she continued, showcasing as it did the many strands of work which sprang from the highly successful two-year programme, was an important signal that the opposite was in fact the case and that the programme had given significant impetus to repository development in the UK, including new strands of JISC-funded activity.

The vision for repositories

Andy Powell of the Eduserv Foundation gave the first keynote presentation on the ‘Repositories Roadmap’, a vision and forward plan for the establishment and development of repositories in the UK covering the period 2006 to 2010. He said that the report originally suggested that the main challenges were in the areas of policy. However, he continued, “getting the technology right can have a huge impact on policy, culture and working practices.” Therefore, he suggested to delegates, this may be the area that could best repay close attention. ‘The conference is an important signal that the JISC Digital Repositories programme has given significant impetus to repository development in the UK’

The vision for 2010 refers to the wish that a “high percentage of newly published scholarly outputs [be] made on available on terms of open access” and speaks of “a growing recognition of the benefits of making academic content more available”. The question now, as far as these goals are concerned, said Andy Powell, is increasingly “not if, but when…” The situation now might therefore require us to set a more ambitious target than that of a “high percentage”, he said.(leer más…)

A Repository of Learning Objects for Formative Undergraduate Physics Assessment

Simon P. Bates (Physics, Edinburgh) and Bruce D. Sinclair (Physics, St. Andrews)

Simon P. Bates School of Physics, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ Bruce D. Sinclair School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews KY16 9SS This project is concerned with the development and online publication of a browse-able repository of multiple choice questions (MCQs), suitable for student self-study to provide formative assessment in introductory undergraduate Physics courses. The importance of formative assessment in undergraduate learning is well-established and practitioners in HE would support the strategic goal of ultimately wanting our undergraduate students to develop into more autonomous learners. To this end, in Edinburgh we have previously developed over a number of years an extensive bank of MCQs that can be used by our own students to test their understanding of material and to provide instant formative feedback. The questions are delivered electronically via the Web and students can access them from wherever and whenever they choose. Such materials are certainly not unique around Physics departments in the UK, textbook publishers etc.(leer más…) Fuente: [the higher education academy, vía DUMP2.0 is funded e-Learning in the School of Physics(First, a title disclaimer; it may seem like every posting on this blog gets «2.0» triumphantly added to it.
