Introduction to the Module

Given the amount of information and resources available in a school context, it is important to collect and organize the existing digital educational resources. The creation of a repository of digital activities at school emerges as a solution to this new challenge, to facilitate both the sharing of content and the teaching and learning process itself. However, the creation of a repository can be developed at several levels: in a more micro approach, at the classroom level, in a meso approach, at the level of curriculum Department and at the macro level, at the level of the school itself.

While at the classroom level, the repository may consist of the use of an application that allows students and teachers to store the different activities carried out/proposed at the meso and macro levels, the repository may constitute a more comprehensive collection of digital resources that can be classified, organized and indexed in order to facilitate search and provide access to your organizations knowledge assets or output There is, therefore, a need to provide information that allows these processes of organization and classification of digital resources to not only be created, but also used, in order to facilitate the operations of locating, identifying and selecting the most  appropriate resources for the work to be carried out.

Some examples:

1. to prepare a digital repository as collection of digital resources of the school which helps to classify, catalog, store, preserve, disseminate, and provide access to the knowledge assets or intellectual output of the organization;
2. to integrate the repository of activities in the planning and implementation of teaching and learning strategies;
3. to develop the use of a repository of digital activities to support an independent learning style;
4. to develop skills in the creation and use of a repository of digital activities.

The learning objectives of this Module are:

1. For the duty manager, being able to support the creation of repositories of digital activities that can be carried out with students and teachers
2. For the duty manager, being able to work closely with colleagues and staff on a variety of web-related tasks
3. Increase the use of a repository of digital activities to promote an independent learning style of students
4. Incorporate a new organizational method, altering the teachers’ work culture

In this Module, you will learn some ideas to create a repository of digital activities at classroom/school.
