These are examples of technologies (available to most UK schools colleges & universities) which allow the sharing of learning resources and increase ease of access to content (USO)

I doubt we are taking full advantage of these technologies yet, but they are on a path where teachers don’t have to create as many resources/activities from scratch, can quickly add them to local VLE’s, and when content management is integrated (resource QA workflow: versions, commenting, moderation etc. ) can lead to higher quality resources which harness the collective intelligence of the community & scales of economy.
