Recommendations for eLearning Strategy
||


 * == Background and Links == || National and State libraries are currently being transformed as outlined in the Re-imagining Library Services: Strategic Plan (July 2008) and the UTas Library is following similar directions.

In summary these directions involve:
 * Further development of collaborative and supportive spaces (physical and online) that assist learning and teaching
 * Integrating learning and support services through a ‘one-stop-shop’
 * Providing the adult (and near adult) learner with choices and a greater degree of control over learning resources, products and processes
 * Facilitating greater community access
 * Empowering learners and teachers to find, share and create content
 * Encouraging the use of new and emerging technologies, innovation and creativity
 * Developing agility, flexibility and openness

Exploration of the ICT functionality required to enable the delivery of ‘learning commons’ services online has been mapped in the **Functionality and Audience Graphic (Version 2.0)**

Some key drivers in this ICT functionality mapping are:

. ||
 * The need for a central integrating ‘learning commons’ service and customisable user interface
 * The need for authenticated access via LDAP or OpenID to resources and services
 * The need for unauthenticated access to open education resources and services by the local and global community
 * The need to provide seamless discovery of internal and external open and closed educational resources and services
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need for learners and teachers to collaboratively create, edit and mix educational resources
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need for learners and teachers to be able to import/export their learning artefacts
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need to be able to export open education resources and information services
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need to cater for desktop and mobile access
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need to provide blended physical, online and virtual learning, professional and social spaces
 * <span style="font-family: "Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.66px;">The need for the ‘learning commons’ to be able to integrate with other state, national and international library and educational services.
