[Oer-community] Introduction to the discussion

[Bibiana Urrea Stettner]

Hello Kimberly and all,

Answering to your question, at the University of Guadalajara we have a  
small repository  of Learning Objects:  http://www.crea.udg.mx/index.jsp
Here we gathered a group of academics who check both: how well the LO  
is done (technically and pedagogically), using a checklist for LI,   
and experts in subject matter check & validate content

This LO repository is free to anyone innthe world who is interested.
Most LO are made by students of a Masters Program & by professors,  
although anyone who wants to share can submit their learning object  
and we are trying to provide feedback in case the LO needs some  
adjustments before been published.

I guess this is just a small effort, done in Spanish, but it is  
growing!!! I guess the criteria has to be set according to each context!

Our other OCW site will be launced tomorrow.
It is a podcast repository at

http://www.podcast.udg.mx/


I am aware that we are working, at a small scale to help to build the  
Uthopia!!!!

Cheers from Guadalajara,
Bibiana
