What is it for? A bespoken service for the teaching activity, when teachers:
• prepare a new subject,
• redesign an existing one
• use it as a part of an assessment
• or include it as classroom resource
Result: a tailor-made report based on teachers’ information needs:
• UOC-generated materials used in other subjects
• Resources available at the Library (books, articles, specialist journals, etc.)
• and other external information sources (open or with licences that permit

● we offer a report showing data on the current status of the matter; for instance, what learning
resources are offered in the classroom and some quantitative data with regard to them and a
number of proposed improvements to the learning resources (comments, recommendations and
proposals on adding and/or updating resources).
