RMIT objects can be uploaded and accessed from the Media Assets Management System (MAMS). RMIT Staff need to be logged into the website and have editing rights. More information is available by following the link to How to store media objects.
A project to investigate and inform a case for a new Learning Object Repository has commenced in 2004.
What to do if you can’t find a useable object
For assistance with searching contact your Liaison Librarian
The Educational Media Group provides a central service to the University producing a range of media formats.
Using LO’s on the DLS
BlackBoard and other DLS tools allow you to publish Learning Objects for use in online teaching. Where you want to use the learning object in more than one course you might be able to link to the object in MAMS saving the need to maintain duplicate copies and saving space on the DLS storage system. Enacted is a locally developed tool in the DLSbased on the concept of guided questioning which allows the embedding of Media objects into a series of pathways
If you have located a LO and need advice or assistance in using the object through the DLS contact support.online@rmit.edu.au
