Creating a Network of Shared Resources with the LOR in D2L

Next Steps on the D2L Journey

Teachers in Park Hill have a little over one semester of experience using D2L as a Learning Management System. Teachers have been busy creating 21st Century Learning Activities, and students have been accessing much of this content through D2L.

In education we collaborate and share best practices on a daily basis.  We are proud to announce that the Learning Object Repository or LOR is up and running so teachers can easily share their content with other teachers throughout the district.

The LOR is made up of 3 types of repositories: grade level bands along with district provided content and professional development content.  These repositories allow for organization and save search time when looking for content.  

Items that can be published to the LOR

• Individual files, links, and quizzes from a teacher's D2L course
• Files from a teacher's computer or network drive
• Submodules (keeps organization structure intact and brings content with it)
• Modules (keeps organization structure intact and brings content with it)

Items that cannot be published to the LOR at this time

• Rubrics
• Discussions

Below are screen casts and handouts to get you started with LOR.
