Shared Content Repository

The table shows statistics by resource kind, as of Spring 2008. Of the over 300,000 resources available in the pool (listed in the first column), 45 percent are in use, i.e., used in at least one course at the participating institutions (second column). Of those, 43 percent are used in at least one course at an institution other than the institution where they originated ("used externally," third column) - 19 percent of the available ones.

The graph shows the development of the LON-CAPA Shared Resource Pool over the years.
