The seminar provided an overview of LRE benefits for Associate Partners and information on the range of options for how organisations can connect to the LRE or expose their resources to school via the LRE federation. The Global Grid for Learning, OER Commons and Promethean also explained why they are currently interested in joining the LRE and becoming some of the first Associate Partners of the LRE service. The seminar started by introducing the current European Schoolnet lead content projects, Calibrate and MELT. This helped to understand how the work that EUN carries out with its partners all contribute to the common goals of LRE. Apart from the LRE architecture, its technical description, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) issues, the participants were also given a glimpse on exchanging learning resources on a Global Scale. This is possible through the LRE network, which is also part of GLOBE, the Global Learning Objects Brokered Exchange. (GLOBE, http://globe.edna.edu.au/) The seminar also presented tools and other services that can be offered to associate partners. Participants heard about issues related to semantic interoperability such as the use of LRE Application Profile and the EUN Multilingual Thesaurus for school education, as well as about curriculum mapping services. Moreover, the end-users can also access the LeMill, a 'learning toolbox' or use social tagging services on the LRE portal. More information available at:
