Abstract
Repositories of digital resources for education, in particular those that contain Learning Objects have been considered as important promoters of the reuse of such documents. The variety available tools that provide for publishing, searching and retrieving objects facilitate and encourage many of the management activities of Learning Objects. An analysis of the activities performed by users in a repository allow us to identify relationships and factors affecting the recycling of a learning resource, which can be useful in developing new management tools or improving existing ones. This paper presents the results of reviewing activities involved in the exchange of digital resources for education by the users of AGORA platform, a Learning Object Management System.
