What are repositories? What's in them? Why would I want to use them?

A growing number of students, researchers, instructors, and staff at UW-Madison are building communities and collections of digital resources. These projects take a variety of forms, from personal and community authored blogs, collections of teaching materials and research notebooks, to student-created university guides and multi-purpose text & media repositories.

This event aims to spark a campus conversation on the creation and use of  evolving collections of knowledge and information. Attendees can expect ample opportunity to interact with designers, contributors, and users of repository projects from around the campus.

The event will be organized around several theme tables, allowing participants to choose the topics of most interest to them. The theme table topics include:

Copyright and the Learning Object
The librarian is in: bring your classroom copyright conundrums to the table! We'll help you think through fair use, the TEACH Act, the Creative Commons, and other copyright-related questions.

Fostering campus conversations about teaching and learning at tle.wisc.edu
TLE @ UW Madison is a collaborative meeting place for faculty and staff from across campus to contribute teaching solutions, policies, and events related to instruction and enables a discussion on all of these materials to help in their instructional mission.  We'll discuss how TLE focuses on community and conversation, rather than content, and discuss how you can contribute to the site.

Learning Objects:  What are they and why would I want them?

Strategic partnerships for managing and discovering content
Research and learning content is being created across campus. In most cases, creators want their materials to be both widely discoverable and managed for the long term, but often lack the resources to achieve these goals. How can you find partners on campus to help you get the most from your investment in creating learning and research content?

Web 2.0 Tools to Enhance a Lecture Capture System
The SMPH is in the process of adding web 2.0 tools to our in-house student lecture capture system while  utilizing many social networking sites to promote the public content in our IME Video Library. We will share what we are doing and hope to get feedback from others around campus.
