Main Articles: 'The MrCute Repository: The Next Phase' Printer-friendly version Send to friend Helen Brady describes the MrCute repository project and its potential impact on the digital learning object-sharing community. MrCute is an acronym of Moodle Repository, Create, Upload, Tag, and Embed and is a repository system for the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It will enable the content uploaded to online course areas on the VLE to be shared with other users and used in more than one location by more than one person. The original MrCute was a JISC-funded project by Worcester College of Technology (United Kingdom) in partnership with Learning Objectivity UK. The existing Alton College Moodle IMS repository system worked as a useful addition to Moodle, enabling users to browse and add NLN materials to a Moodle course. MrCute Phase 2 The JISC-funded MrCute 2 Project is further developing this functionality, but also with a heavy focus on making the user interface as simple and intuitive as possible.

Reusable Learning Objects | Subject Centre for Information and C. What are reusable learning objects? We treat reusable learning objects as web-based interactive chunks of e-learning designed to explain a stand-alone learning objective. The fact that the learning object has been broken down to a low level of granularity facilitates its reuse in different learning and teaching situations. In a previous project, for Introductory Programming, at London Met a collaborative team of tutors supported by a multimedia developer and evaluator worked to develop and reuse reusable learning objects across HND, Degree and conversion MSc levels.
This initiative produced dramatic improvements in pass rates of up to 27 percent. The same reusable learning objects have been used at Bolton Institute and the University of Ulster. They have also been adapted and reused for a different computer language at the University of Auckland. For more information, you can view the Introductory Programming RLO here What is a repository?
