Every Learning Object that you create using any of the following programs will be filed in this repository:
Staff Kiosk programs
Assessment > Learning Objects (Maintain & Assign) > ‘Create Learning Object’ button.

The repository stores the Learning Objects in folders:
1. My Learning Objects and Central Repository
This is the first level in the Learning Object Repository that Learning Objects will be filed under.
My Learning Objects
This is where you store your own Learning Objects that you don't want to be available to other teachers.
Central Repository
This repository is available to all Teachers. Learning Objects that you elect to store here will be available for all Teachers to use.
2. Subject Area
The 'Subject Area' is the second level in the Learning Object Repository that Learning Objects will be filed under.
By default, the Learning Object Repository will display the 'Subject Areas' that belong to the Department(s) that you operate in.
For example, if you operate in the Science Department, only science-related 'Subject Areas' such as science, chemistry and biology will be displayed.
Use the 'Subject Area' filter to nominate additional or all 'Subject Areas' to display.
3. Year Group
This the third level in the Learning Object Repository that Learning Objects will be filed under.
4. Topic
This is the fourth level in the Learning Object Repository that Learning Objects will be filed under.
A topic is best described as a unit of work.
Using the example above for Year 11 English, the topics are 'Australian Poetry', 'Book Reviews' etc.
For objects in the 'My Learning Objects Repository':
Teachers create topics as they create new Learning Objects or by using Staff Kiosk program Assessment > Topics (Maintain).
For objects in the 'Central Repository':
Teachers create topics as they create new Learning Objects or by using Staff Kiosk program Assessment > Topics (Maintain), or
Your school may have locked this down, and teachers will need to contact their Assessment Administrator to create a new Topic.
The folders that are displayed in the Learning Object Repository are dynamic. A folder will only appear in the repository when a Learning Object has been stored underneath it.
The Learning Objects folder tree will consolidate Topics folders within a Subject Area and Year Group where the Topic name is identical.
