3. Benefits of using Jorum
Jorum is
• a trusted source of quality OER for UK HE and FE
• a robust, safe and sustainable hosting platform for OER
• a showcase for UK learning and teaching resources
Jorum can
• provide security – a national repository service
• make resources more discoverable “Jorum can save us time. Using materials
• provide data about usage from Jorum means that we do not have to
• reduce costs start from scratch and create resources
ourselves. There is a wide variety of
Using Jorum content so you never know what you
• enriches the community might find.” -- Carolyn Groom, Learning
• is easy! Technologist, Integrated Learner Support
Services, Carnegie College.
4. Sharing Resources
Two main ways to share:
• Manual – uploading files & adding links.
Both types are tagged and searched the same way!
• Bulk Upload Methods – what we offer now, and
what’s coming.
5. Sharing Resources - Manual
Manual – Uploading Files & Adding Links
• You can upload your files and packages into Jorum,
including:
• Individual files of all types;
• Zip files containing any number of files;
• Standard packages with metadata (SCORM and IMS), OR
• You can put links to externally hosted content in Jorum
• You can add metadata and licences during upload
6. Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods
Bulk Upload Methods – we currently offer:
• Spreadsheet / CSV template
• We give you the template, you add the metadata and links, and
give it back to us to ingest.
• There is a way to ingest packages in bulk this way too.
• RSS Feed
• We have offered ingest of static RSS Feeds in the past- they
don’t support great discoverability within Jorum as each feed is
treated as a single resource.
• We are no longer supporting this for ingest from next year.
7. Sharing Resources – Bulk Upload Methods
Bulk Upload Methods – what’s coming next year:
• SWORD ingest
• Standard protocol for ingesting files and packages along with
their metadata.
• There will be tools developed for use with this protocol.
• Accepts IMS and SCORM Packages, zip files, any other filetypes,
plus we hope to support METS packages later.
• OAI-PMH
• Standard protocol for ingesting metadata and links from other
repositories.
• We’re testing this now – let us know if you offer a feed.
8. Resource Metadata
Metadata – what is it good for?
• Discovery:
• You want people to find your resources.
• You want to be able to find your resources again yourself!
• Measuring success
• Jorum will soon offer easy-to-generate, easy-to-view and easy-
to-share stats about usage of resources.
• To get access stats in meaningful ways, you need to be able to
gather them in meaningful ways, e.g.:
• Stats on downloads of all resources in your JISC Programme? You need
them all tagged with, e.g. “ukoer”
• Data on the geographical origin of views of your institution’s resources?
You need them all tagged with your institution’s name.
