ALTO
- UAL ALTO Learning Resources Repository - The name chosen for this is the ALTO Filestore (the term repository is not well known or understood by our target users), and is planned for public release in October 2011
OERs have been created for a wide range of subjects and deposited in:
As part of the project several UAL web sites were prepared for licensing with Creative Commons licences after being audited for IPR issues. Each site was linked to a unique metadata record in the repository via an ALTO logo on the front page of each site. The metadata record for each site in turn has a ‘back link’. This approach allowed existing online resources to be converted into OERs with the minimum of work, helping sustainability by lowering the threshold to OER engagement and should lead to more UAL sites becoming ALTO OER Affiliates. Sites planned for conversion included:
OSIER
