What is SOL*R ?A service for BC post-secondary educators
aimed at facilitating the
SharingDiscoveryRemixing &Reuse
of provincially-funded (and other) learning resources under “open content” style licenses

Online Program Development Fund
Funding to public post-secondary institutions to increase the number of online courses, programs, technologies, and services
Encourages inter-institutional partnerships
Resources produced through this fund become accessible system-wide for sharing and reuse.
Three rounds of the $1.5 million OPDF have taken place — one in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

BC Commons License
1 of 2 license options for OPDF content
Developers to retain IP
Supports free sharing of content among a regional consortia
Developers retain commercialization potential outside consortia.
Reduces effort for permission to reuse
Requires sharing of modifications of original content with larger community

Some of the challenges we’ve tried to address…
![Page 12: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Resource interoperability and granularity…
Learning Resources come in all shapes and sizes:
Different formats and media types – images, animations, web content, PDFs, Powerpoints, Word docs, course management system exports…
Different levels of ‘granularity’- concepts, lessons, modules, courses, programs
![Page 13: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Different kinds of “Reuse”…
Instructors need to be able toReuse content "as is“
Wrap existing content "as is” in new contexts (re-aggregate)
Alter the content (either for quality, accuracy or to suite their own needs)
![Page 14: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sustainability…BCcampus needs to be able to
Track content use and reuse
Support the cataloguing of content
Support versioning of content
Secure content which should only be available to validated BC Educators
![Page 15: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
…and some opportunities we’re trying to enable
Federation with other repositoriesOpen Archives InitiativeEdusource Communications Layer
Interoperation with different toolsWeb Services interfaces
Flexible item definitions and security modelComing Soon…
Multiple front endsIntegration with multiple back-ends
![Page 16: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Opportunities these could enable with UBC I
Connect existing UBC repositories to provide seamless search and retrieval to validated BC educators
Connect up different editing and authoring environments through the web services interfaces
![Page 17: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Opportunities IIUse this for storing other kinds of data
UBC specific collections; collections shared between smaller consortia of institutions
Hosted model for UBC collections
Direct access to resources for designers from with WebCT and other CMS
![Page 18: Introduction to SOL*R](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/5556b5f9d8b42a9c798b55da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
... and some real obstacles we face
Reluctant contributors
The “just one more revision” syndrome
Cultural antagonism to reusing other peoples’ materials
The model may just be wrong ;-(The production modelThe delivery modelThe sharing model
