<strong>DICE</strong> <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Figure 14. Viewing the saved resource list (can also be viewed in COSE browser)<br />

Search <strong>Tools</strong> (Figure 15). <strong>Resource</strong> lists html is saved by default with the keyword ‘resource list’<br />

(COSE metadata), so searches using this term will identify resource lists, distinct from other text<br />

components. Figures 16 <strong>and</strong> 17 show that the resource lists can be copied <strong>and</strong> pasted to the<br />

basket or the COSE Editor in constructing page sets. They can be edited in Component Editor as<br />

with any other text component.<br />

We make the point again that the scenario described relates to (the user’s own) unpublished<br />

resource lists. Published resource lists made available by other users of the system can also be<br />

recovered this way but more effectively using the Google Mini search appliance accessed from the<br />

<strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Discovery</strong> user interface ‘Search <strong>Resource</strong>s’ button, since this allows full text searching<br />

(e.g. of descriptions associated with search results). Other users publishing resource lists could be<br />

enrolled on the same course or module as the (COSE) account holder, making the resource lists<br />

more educationally relevant. Figures 18 <strong>and</strong> 19 show how published resource lists are returned<br />

from Google Mini <strong>and</strong> one of those lists opening in a new window.<br />
