The speakers have all undertaken work in this area and the event will be an opportunity for practitioners who are operating within different contexts to share their experiences of creating, sharing and applying digital content. It will also offer participants an opportunity to consider what and how strategic, cultural and practical conditions can foster or inhibit reuse and sharing of digital content.

This event will be of interest to all colleagues involved in the acquisition, development and application of digital content: this includes academics, learning technologists and library professionals.
