Abstract

The main aim of the LORO project was to set up a teaching and learning repository for the Department of Languages (DoL) at The Open University (OU) so that all tutorial materials made available to tutors by DoL could be placed in a space that was easily accessible and searchable, and to which tutors could also add their own resources. It was also felt that the high quality tutorial materials developed at the OU were underused by being place in course pages that were only accessible to tutors delivering each course.
