Repository
The aim of ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories) is to promote the development of open access by providing timely information about the growth and status of repositories throughout the world. Open access to research maximises research access and thereby also research impact, making research more productive and effective.
The Digital Preservation Network (DPN) is the only large-scale digital preservation service that is built to last beyond the life spans of individuals, technological systems, and organizations. DPN provides members of the academy and their successors with assurance that future access to their scholarly resources will be available in the event of disruptive change in administrative or physical institutional environments. By establishing a redundant and varied technical and legal infrastructure the survival, ownership and management of preserved digital content in the future is assured for DPN members

Multi-Media Principles
Following are the multimedia Principles that should be considered when authoring e-learning modules:
- Multimedia
- words & graphics rather than words alone
- Contiguity
- align words to corresponding graphics
- Modality
- Present words as audio narrative rather than just on-screen text
- Redundancy
- Explain visual in audio or test; NOT both
- Cohrence
- Extraneous words, music, graphics, audio can HURT learning.
- Personalization / Embodiment
- use coversational style, polite wording, human voice
- Instructional virtual coach usage is subjective
- Sementing / PreTraining
- Break instruction up into chunks & parts
- Optimal total length no longer that 6 minutes
