Abstract: The Virginia Content Repository (VCR) is an innovative repository of digital content to support teaching and learning by Virginia PK-12 teachers and students. The VCR combines learning objects technology with social networking and web 2.0 features to help teachers and students identify only the very best and most relevant content for their needs. Content referenced by the repository can be uploaded to the repository itself or linked to existing content (permission allowing). The repository also supports teacher- and student supported content, leveraging a constructivist approach and theme-based content creation contests with the need to actively manage the content collection, ensuring that any gaps in content coverage are addressed. Finally, the repository supports meta-tagging by teachers using industry-standard schema and includes a mechanism to ensure that content that is rated poorly (i.e., below a defined cut-off criterion) does not reflect badly on its author.
