Paper Abstract:
|
When introducing the metadata standard LOM, objectives such as the ability to find or to reuse learning objects were
followed. These objectives are actually achieved in LOM only to a limited degree, despite the designation as de-facto
standard for description of electronic learning content: Based on the complexity of the standard a high theoretical
potential faces rejection in practice. One reason for this is that the process of metadata generation - for example, who
creates which metadata attributes - is not defined in detail yet. This paper illustrates an approach which guarantees a high
quantity as well as a high quality of learning object metadata records bringing together known ways of metadata creation
and the new paradigm of users describing content as implemented in recent Web 2.0 applications. In the context of a
concrete e-learning platform we exemplarily define who creates which metadata records of LOM in which way at what
time. |
