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. 4th round CFP closes April 28.

Some of the challenges we’ve tried to address…
![Page 12: Introducing SOL*R Scott Leslie BCcampus January 20 th, 2006](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/5697bf7c1a28abf838c8456b/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: Introducing SOL*R Scott Leslie BCcampus January 20 th, 2006](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/5697bf7c1a28abf838c8456b/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: Introducing SOL*R Scott Leslie BCcampus January 20 th, 2006](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/5697bf7c1a28abf838c8456b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sustainability…
BCcampus needs to be able toTrack 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: Introducing SOL*R Scott Leslie BCcampus January 20 th, 2006](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/5697bf7c1a28abf838c8456b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
…and some opportunities we’re trying to enable
Federation with other repositoriesOpen Archives Initiative
Edusource Communications Layer/IMS DRI
Z39.50 Catalogues
Interoperation with different toolsWeb Services interfaces
Flexible item definitions and security model
Coming Soon…Multiple front ends
Integration with multiple back-ends

... and some real obstacles we face
Reluctant contributorsThe “just one more revision” syndromeCultural antagonism to reusing other peoples’ materialsThe model may just be wrong ;-(
The production modelThe delivery modelThe sharing model
