Lessons from LOM for E-Learning Standardization
Presented at an international forum for standardization in Tokyo, March 14. Here’s the Powerpoint, and here’s the abstract:
A large number of projects and organizations are currently making digital learning resources (learning objects) available to instructors, students and designers via systematic, standards-based infrastructures. One standard that is central to many of these efforts and infrastructures is known as Learning Object Metadata (IEEE 1484.12.1-2002, or LOM). Given the fact that this standard is the first of its kind to be internationally adopted, the implementation of the LOM presents an excellent opportunity for study and research. By looking at how it has been implemented in projects and in specific metadata records, it is possible to learn valuable lessons about e-learning standards implementation, and about how to develop and refine further standards to meet implementers’ and educators’ needs. In this presentation, Dr. Norm Friesen will discuss the findings of an international survey of the implementation of the LOM standard, and outline some of the lessons learned for e-learning standardization.
Norm, the link on this post to the PPT file seems to be broken. Cheers, Scott
