Learning Object Repository Access

The Learning Object Repository (LOR) is a collection of centralized documents and folders that can be used across courses and organizations within Blackboard. These documents can be pulled into a course or organization, but cannot be edited at the course or organization level. When a LOR file is changed, that change populates out to all versions of the file used across any course or organizations.

Files are not pushed into courses from the LOR. It is the instructor's responsibility to pull the content from the LOR into their course. 

Department or College LOR Files

Department or College level LOR files are restricted to a specific department or college on Blackboard. Each department or college may have up to 2 LOR Administrators at one time. 

Requesting Access to Create LOR Files

1. The College Dean or Department Chair must make this request. Please email blackboard@towson.edu with the user's name, email address, and the specific department or college the user should be able to create files for.
2. The Blackboard Administration team will coordinate with the user to schedule training related to LOR access. This training is required to gain access to creating files in the LOR and must be completed to prior to being granted access.
3. Once training has been completed, access will be granted to create files in the LOR.
4. ​​​​​​​If the user changes roles or leaves the university, or another LOR Administrator needs to be added, it is the responsibility of the College Dean or Department Chair to reach out to the Blackboard team to ensure that access is removed.
