This presentation describes a learning object for the management of curriculum resources that specifically provide customized access to alternative materials for students' use in course projects and assignments. Developed through the collaboration of a content provider and a designer, this reusable tool incorporates feature films for use in academic coursework. The content provider can update data in real-time and students using the database can sort results according to different points of access (by title, by theme, etc.).
Business Ethics in the Movies (a database and web site) is demonstrated and the context for the creation of this data management tool is discussed. Other possible applications of the database template are also presented.
