Why, why, why DELILA?Why, why, why DELILA?
• Why LSE and UoB? - Carillo workshop• Educational developers could make use of
generic Information and Digital Literacy material in PGCerts
• Many librarians have already created valuable resources
• Sharing …– helps model best practice– saves time and money– is good for your institution and your reputation

Review against existing frameworksReview against existing frameworks• Mapped UKPSF to SCONUL 7 Pillars and
Digital Literacy framework• Reviewed content against UKSPF,
SCONUL 7 Pillars (S7P) and OER best practice
• Aim to enhance value of material by increasing it’s opportunity and likelihood of re-use
• Created 4 worked examples

Conversion to OERConversion to OER
• Learning curve quite steep• Challenges mostly due to inexperience!• IPR issues• Review content
– 3rd party content most common issue– Dealing with screenshots
• Add Creative Commons information• Metadata

Customisation of IRCustomisation of IR
• IRs increase the visibility of material and assign permanent URLs for content
• Additional metadata for OERs• Based on UKLOM standard• 7 Pillars, UKPSF• JORUM requirements
• Both UoB and LSE use ePrints repository software
• Customise display of OERs • Layout improved to show key OER metadata at a glance• Thumbnails of PDF’s and Office docs displayed
automatically

Customisation of IR (cont…)Customisation of IR (cont…)• Option of using plugins to display
material via embedded viewers• Decided on look and feel of Humbox
– http://www.humbox.ac.uk/• Birmingham’s repository:
– Contains a range of materials, DELILA collection part of wider body of materials
• LSE have a created a new instance of eprints - Learning Resources Online– Currently populated with DELILA materials
only

Content depositContent deposit
• Identified deposit workflows• Investigated automatic harvesting and
direct download options– SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering
Repository Deposit )
• Used manual deposit (easier as small number of resources)
• Still need to upload resources to Jorum (which may need to be done manually)

• Aids transparency /different point of view• Helps to ensure project achieves what it
was intended to• Template and criteria for evaluating OERs
developed• Some resources have been peer reviewed
but project concluded this needed to happen after resources were released

IssuesIssues
• Are DL / IL resources more institutionally specific than other teaching materials?
• IPR issues can be problematic• IPR issues avoided by removing content
e.g. screenshots and using placeholder• CC licences: Non commercial / 2.5 or 3.0• Keeping materials up to date in
repository• Reusing LSE/UoB material - how practical
is it?

Lessons learnedLessons learned
• DL and IL underpin teaching courses but not explicit in framework
• Potential to re-use some DL / IL materials and to promote them better to teachers and educational developers
• Improving creator workflow for resources– Record teaching material creation and store
resources in a single place– Map resources to establish frameworks– Make OER considerations such as embedding
CC information etc, early on

What do you think?What do you think?
• How feasible is it to share IL and DL resources – Within an institution?– With another institution?
• Should DL and IL be embedded into teaching qualifications and is this the best approach?
