COLEG
• A partnership of Scotland’s colleges based on member’s subscriptions
• 13 years of collaboration (established 1995)
• COLEG “key contact” in each college
• A mechanism for sharing high quality learning materials– Initially paper-based
– 46,000 hours of materials
• Using repository from January 2008

NDLR
• Pilot project Goal:– Producing a full ongoing repository service
for “Teaching and Learning Resources”
– Developing and supporting communities of academics in different academic disciplines
• 3 year pilot + 1 year evaluation = Future Roadmap for Full Service
• Evaluation ends Dec 2008

Content
• Supplier/Consumer model
• Who supplies content?– Individuals, projects, institutions
– Funded initiatives, commissioned
– Commercial publishers
– Open Educational Resources (OER)
• Who consumes content?– Teachers
– Students
![Page 9: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Content
• JORUM– Suppliers: Funded projects, individuals– Consumers: Teachers
• COLEG– Suppliers: Legacy material, projects– Consumers: college representatives
• NDLR– Suppliers: communities of practice (existing,
bespoke)– Consumers: communities of practice, teachers

Rights
• JORUM– Depositor’s licence (institutional)
– Conditions of use (no re-deposit)
– Jorum Open – Creative Commons
• COLEG– Existing licence conditions
• NDLR– Similar to Jorum
– But additional individual Depositor’s licence
![Page 12: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ease of Use
• JORUM– Need user account
– Need institution to have signed agreement
– Jorum Open – moving towards open access
• COLEG– Need user account
• NDLR– Need user account
![Page 13: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ease of Use
• Evidence from other repositories is that need to register is a barrier to use
• Open access interface to same repository can act as a shop window
• 1-9-90 rule
![Page 14: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Quality
• JORUM– Quality assures metadata– No review of content
• COLEG– Formal peer-review process with quality
“mark”– Also un-reviewed without quality mark
• NDLR– Customisable publishing workflows
![Page 15: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
History
• JORUM– 3 year set-up phase
– 3 year service (in preparation) phase
– Now revised service based on lessons learned
• COLEG– 13 years non-repository based,1 year repository
• NDLR– 3 year pilot phase, 1 year evaluation
– Service to start 2009

Critical Mass
• Is critical mass a useful concept?• It is a user-centred concept• Bulk migration• JORUM
– Project-based, response variable
• COLEG– Centrally supported migration
• NDLR– Communities of Practice use different
approaches

– Reuse
– Integration
• Information support (JISC)– Rights awareness
– E-learning/pedagogy/standards awareness

Sustainability
![Page 21: National Repository Strategies: Some Higher and Further Education Examples](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814976550346895db6c270/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sustainability
• Requires measures of success
• Stakeholders need different measures– Institutions, users, contributors, funders
• Hard metrics– Numbers, references, generations
• Soft metrics– Cultural change, impact, quality , satisfaction
• Stories
