- 27. Cengage Learning & LRMI Contributing to maximizing the educational community’s ability to locate resources 27
- 28. Why participate? v Looking to support any effort which enables the identification of the most appropriate and effective choice of learning material v Increase the discoverability and value of our educationally relevant, instructionally effective resources during web search engine searches. § Ability to have our learning materials surface above the mass of web pages with seemingly relevant keywords, but no useful learning materials. v Accelerate movement toward personalized learning 28
- 29. How Cengage is Implementing v Created a crosswalk between existing Cengage internal standard metadata framework and *required* LRMI § Discovered significant overlap (resource title, locator, description, subject, publication/creation date, creator/author, publisher, language, etc…) v For the existing metadata: § Most likely will programmatically populate equivalent LRMI fields with values from existing metadata fields, revising vocabularies as/if needed v For the new metadata: § Cost/benefit analysis of adding and populating additional metadata fields § For example: § Competency name/title (e.g. Literacy.CCRA.R.10) § Educational Framework (e.g. Common Core State Standards) 29
- 30. How Cengage is Implementing v Content tagging (indexing) § Determining the balance between remediation of legacy content and focusing on new content v Review and revise Cengage Editorial Policies as needed v Revise Cengage Metadata Registry v Provide support for compliance with standards § Awareness campaign among Global Product Technology teams § Perhaps enhanced QC § Create additional job aids 30
- 31. Open Questions and Unexpected Consequences v How will we measure success? § Is it worth tracking online sales initiated from a catalog hit on a Web search engine? § Does the nominal level of effort warrant a success measure? v Generated more discussion regarding what is the “smallest unit of content” we will sell § If we’re working to respond to a more granular level of educational need, do we also need to make our content available at that level? § What are the implications of that decision on how we manage our assets? 31
