(Preprint.) Today's college and university learning landscapes are dynamic and
characterized by increased student demand for highly flexible and self-paced online learning opportunities. Recent fiscal conditions in higher education make learning landscape development more challenging due to finite resources and competing priorities. Similarly, academic libraries are experiencing substantial budget and staff reductions. Despite these trends, academic libraries are in a strong position to contribute to surrounding learning landscapes by expanding student online learning opportunities and promoting the critical use of information. Evolving learning technologies available for free or at low cost provide higher education and libraries with the tools to respond to this fluid environment.
This presentation describes a learning object for the management of curriculum resources that specifically provide customized access to alternative materials for students' use in course projects and assignments. Developed through the collaboration of a content provider and a designer, this reusable tool incorporates feature films for use in academic coursework. The content provider can update data in real-time and students using the database can sort results according to different points of access (by title, by theme, etc.).
Business Ethics in the Movies (a database and web site) is demonstrated and the context for the creation of this data management tool is discussed. Other possible applications of the database template are also presented.
