The document outlines a Norwegian pilot project focused on metadata tagging based on the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI) to improve access to digital learning resources. It emphasizes practical approaches where participants tag their own resources while sharing outcomes, seeks to enhance search capabilities for various educational stakeholders, and aims to establish a common framework for quality assurance. The initiative aims to enable better educational alignment and accessibility while fostering international collaboration in educational solutions.
EdReNe 2015 - A Norwegian test pilot about tagging learning resources with LRMI
- 1. Metadata tagging based on the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI) - a Norwegian pilot project
- 2. Brief Introduction to the pilot project ● Metadata tagging based on LRMI ● Following a mutually accepted minimum set of metadata attributes from LRMI ● Practical approach, pre piloting for addressing possibilities before developing a final profile. Participants tagging their own resources and sharing results and experiences. ● Strong support, all major publishing companies, public content providers, television stations, LMS providers, and other Edtech companies ● Under the auspices of the National Learning Committee, Standards Norway (SNK/186) ● Educational to the Curriculum is at the core of the participants testing
- 3. Background ● The Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education established an initiative to strengthen the Standards Norway committee for learning technology in 2012. ● Digital learning resources was given a priority in the new mandate for the committee ● Feedback from public and private organizations and companies, different reports and discussions all concluded that lack of an modern framework for metadata where critical important for further development for the whole educational sector ● NORLOM did never get a strong foothold in Norway (NORLOM is the norwegian application profile of the IEEE Learning Object Metadata specification)
- 4. Approach • The committee wanted a practical approach – NOT a theoretical discussion towards a new application profile • Participants (content providers) tagging their own resources and sharing results and experiences. • There was a general agreement on keeping things as simple as possible. The following Objectives and Scope was agreed one
- 5. Objectives Main objective : ● Make it easier for teachers, students, parents and others to search, find and make use of relevant resources ● Make expansions of attributes eg establish attributes that will support access to resources for students with special needs ● By establishing a common framework increase trust for the quality of learning resources ( licensing, owner, for what user etc) Market perspective ● Basis for metadata directories ● Unlock recourses from silos ● Facilitate EdtTech vendors who develop tools and solutions for the education sector ● Facilitate small companies and startups in edtech ● International- By use of international standards and metadata; Building foundation for an world wide approach for educational soulutiones
- 6. Scope ● Open and web-based digital learning resources accessible to crawler- and indexing engines ● Static metadata (metadata for publishing) ● Metadata according to the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI) specification, and embedded with formats JSON-LD or RDFa ● Digital learning resources addressing the K-12 curriculum and within a predefined range of subjects and education levels ● (Optional) testing and development based on Google Webmaster Tools and Google Custom Search (and API)
- 7. The broader Scope Dynamic metadata such as social metadata and activity data (but not a part of phase 1) The pilot do not take into consideration – business models – Licencing – whether we should have a national repositories , directories etc
