CUSTOMIZATION PROCESS FOR A MULTIMEDIA DIGITAL REPOSITORY

Summary/Abstract: Multimedia Repositories for digital objects facilitates access to educational resources of any kind, respecting copyright. They allow storage of multimedia objects that can be reused in different contexts, such as presentations or educational games. Currently, most universities offer such features, generating major changes in education by using the concept of open educational resources (OER) which allowed the transition to a learning system in which age, location and financial possibilities are no longer relevant. The rapid changes in the way in which multimedia content is used requires that programmers to reuse more and more digital content and to create easily new digital libraries. This process is also required by the increased demand of digital skills from professors, students and various type of experts especially in the creative departments. Furthermore, digitalization of the content emerging new trends that incorporate different kinds of user interaction. There is an important gap in the way that European users understand to use digital skills demanded to generate these new content types and current skills or procedures, causing potentially missing out on the developers use in this moment and showing signs of a possible backslash of the existing models. In order to reduce such a breach, this article show a technological solution to provide to all kind of digital experts with an controlled environment where to deposit and share in a controlled manner the results of their work, while they could disengage from the technological complexity of these emerging trends. The article show a possible way, an implementation that is easy to develop and maybe more important embedded on internet, that can be accessed by users through their personal devices (desktop, tablets, mobile phones, etc.), which will maximize the engagement.
