LUTHERAN EDUCATION AUSTRALIA
Lutheran Education Australia evaluated Digital repositories in order to host worship resources and learning objects for the teachers and staff in 2006.
After an initial pilot study of six months, the HP/MIT DSpace open source repository was chosen and implemented.
The benefit of using Dspace is the robust and scalable nature of the Java and postgres SQL platform that serve as the Dspace platform.
Incorporating the Lucerne search engine makes the retrieval of any document stored in the repository almost instantly. Data integrity of the digital assets are maintained with scheduled Cyclical Redundancy Checking.
The LEA digital repository is hosted on a dedicated server on the fast Internet network serving the Data centre hosting the Valegro servers.
LEAdr is currently being upgraded with a new design and functionality. The new upgraded version of LEAdr and is currently in final testing mode, to be released at the start of the new school year in January 2010.
