| Developing IU's Scholar's Box |
 The Interactive University Project is building a web-based suite of tools that will enable faculty, students, and the public to create, manipulate, annotate, and share personal collections of learning and cultural material. These digitized collections, comprised of objects gathered from multiple digital repositories, are intended for use in University and K-12 classrooms, as well as other more informal educational settings.
The working name for this developing suite of web tools is The Scholar's Box. Many teachers have a cardboard box that serves as their private repository of essential teaching materials, the Scholar's Box is intended to function similarly for an individual collection of digital materials and resources. It is conceived and designed to address important interoperability issues at the intersection of four key information technology domains: digital libraries and repositories; educational technologies and learning management systems; web syndication and portal technologies; and desktop applications and structured content authoring tools.
