Overview of the Learning Object Repository
The Learning Object Repository is an institutional repository used to centralize institutional resources across courses and organizations. Administrators can upload objects to the Learning Object Repository for you to download into your courses. Updates to objects stored in the Learning Object Repository apply changes to all courses and organizations using that object. Every course using that object has the same version.
Changes to an object are not applied only when a course has ended or has been marked completed. We determine if a course has ended by checking its course end date or term end date, if it's part of a term.
At the present time, only Documents can be stored in the Learning Object Repository.
Inserted objects have locked down attributes
Objects from the Learning Object Repository are managed by your institution. Therefore, you are locked out of editing certain attributes of an object. For example, you can't edit the title, description, or body of a Document inserted into the Learning Object Repository. You can only modify the class conversation and Goals & Standards settings.
