Q PROJECT 2005-6
Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials?
PROJECT BRIEF
![Page 2: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
`Communities of practice’ E- learning materials can be shared
across a subject area, a curriculum division or across the college
Do we have ‘communities of practice’ for e-learning?
How can they be created?

How are materials structured?
How do staff search for materials?
How do staff use these materials?

Common sense?STRUCTURING YOUR STORAGE, YOUR
ENQUIRIES
AND SHARING YOUR GOALS
WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR SUPPORT STAFF TO ASSIST YOU
![Page 7: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why structure your search for e-learning objects?
Any search can benefit from the following questions:
What do I need? What format should it be in? What do I want it to do? How much time do I have?
![Page 8: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Examples of current storage

Moving resources to e-repository
Should mean: Easier searching and updating Learning outcomes can be
described for all users Materials can be packaged to suit
staff and student needs Sharing materials becomes easier
![Page 10: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Next step: select your resources to store in e-repository Wherever your resources are to be
found you need to be familiar with the storage structures E-REPOSITORY
For efficient search and retrieval you also need agreement on how the e-resources are described
![Page 11: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Questions to be answered What learning outcomes are required
from this material? How complex should it be? – language,
learning styles and activities. Course - agreed title, dates and
administration details – to identify materials for updating
Agreed titles/keywords for describing e-learning objects
![Page 12: Q PROJECT 2005-6 Are search skills and file management skills barriers to using e-learning materials? PROJECT BRIEF.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551ae0635503465e7d8b474b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SEARCHING FOR E-LEARNING MATERIALS
QUESTIONS----------------------ACCESS------------VLE
How much time do I have? What do I want ? – subject and purpose Who for? Level Activity/ Time needed Learning outcomes
Can I find an e-learning object without help? Does it need to be placed in e-repository? Who needs to be able to use it? Where will I be using this resource? – in or outside college? Where do I go for support – with access, storage and delivery?
STRUCTURE OF WHERE MATERIALS ARE STORED NOW STRUCTURE OF E-REPOSITORY DESCRIBING MATERIALS FOR STORAGE FILE MANAGEMENT FOR STORAGE, RETRIEVAL AND REPACKAGING

HOW CAN WE ENSURE THAT TEACHING STAFF, IT SUPPORT STAFF
AND LIBRARY AND INFORMATION
SERVICES STAFF
ARE USING THE SAME ‘LANGUAGE’?

Additional outcomes – added value
Understanding value of structuring ‘formal & informal learning’ in the Integrated Learning Centres (ILC)
ILC team has greater awareness of potential for resource management through the VLE and e-repository

Additional outcomes – added value
• Project outcomes and experience have informed e-learning planning across the college
• Need to plan CPD/inductions on subject focussed search strategies and e-repository file management
• Improved PowerPoint and file management skills!
