Paul West advises that the Commonwealth of Learning's Learning Object Repository has opened, and writes, "It's based on a combination of 'eRIB' and 'pakXchange', which gives it a strong database with security. Multiple partnering institutions can collaborate on the same implementation; they can each have multiple libraries of content, with different levels of security on each (from open to proprietary)." Downloads of the repository software are also available on the site.
