Digital repositories can be explored in further detail by following this link:

Something which I took from John’s presentation is how essential it is to allow the learner to take control of their own learning. It is important to understand that a teacher’s presence in the facilitation of a learning sequence is depending on the age and independence of the learner. It can be seen from our online course with Moodle, that as adults, we are taking control of our learning strategies by selecting the resources (repositories) then making decisions and asking questions based on the information provided.
