D&D: Course and Instruction as Ontology: A Course-Specific Learning Object Metadata Design to Improve Reusability

• In Event: Roundtables Wed3
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Wed3

Short Description

This presentation describes a learning object metadata (LOM) design and a course-specific learning object repository (LOR) based on the design. The LOM is designed to improve learning object (LO) reusability within a course; the LOR uses the course syllabus and common instructional practices as ontology for metadata, and makes use of hyperlinked LO’s to achieve granularity and modularity. Scalability and social interaction will also be discussed.
