A Digital Repository Supporting Collaboration

Abstract

Today’s digital learning repositories are focused on the process of sharing materials created elsewhere. We propose a new type of digital learning repository which is focused on on-line collaboration. This new type of repository will foster an active community which creates and shares resources. It will use a mix of existing and new technologies to encourage users to communicate, contribute, and collaborate. It will be focused on the needs of instructors and be tolerant of differences of opinion.
