Abstract:

PEN-DOR (Pennsylvania Education Digital Object Repository) is a project funded under the state's Link to Learn Initiative which will provide access to the collective experience of teachers, students and administrators in public schools in building lesson plans and using curriculum materials. It will provide K-12 educators with access to multimedia resources and tools to create new lesson plans and presentations, and to modify existing ones. The digital materials within the repository can be organized in frameworks which will form the basis for lessons, tutorials and presentations. As frameworks are developed, used, critiqued and modified, they will form the basis for a community memory of past experience. PEN-DOR is built on an object oriented database system at the University of Pittsburgh. The system is currently being tested in eight schools in two regions of the state.
