  2. Sharing of Resources • Creating online resources (web pages, images, homework problems) is a lot of work • Doing so for use in just one course is a waste of time and effort • Many resources could be used among a number of courses and across institutions

  3. Key to Re-Usability • The key to re-usability is to create course-context free resources • In other words, same resource can be used in different contexts • This means: • No button “next resource” • No button “back to course menu” • No wording such as “as we have previously seen” • etc

  4. Using Re-Usable Resources • BUT: how do you use context-free re-usable resources in the context of a course? • You need an infrastructure to • Find resources ina library of resources • Sequence them up(put the puzzle together) • Serve them out tothe students
