Learning and training: metadata elements

Use the learning and training metadata to describe specific characteristics of the learning content. The learning and training metadata elements provide a robust metadata model for learning objects, built upon industry standards and best practices. Defined as a domain, these elements are available for use in both the topic <prolog> and the map <topicmeta>.
  1. <lcLom>
    The <lcLom> provides a set of specialized data elements to use to specify metadata in the learning topics and learning map domain.
  2. <lomAggregationLevel>
    The <lomAggregationLevel> describes the functional size of the learning resource.
  3. <lomContext>
    The <lomContext> describes the typical learning environment where use of the learning object is intended to take place.
  4. <lomCoverage>
    The <lomCoverage> provides learning metadata about the temporal or spatial characteristics of the content, such as historical context.
  5. <lomDifficulty>
    The <lomDifficulty> provides learning metadata about how hard it is to work through the resource for the typical target audience.
  6. <lomInstallationRemarks>
    The <lomInstallationRemarks> provides learning metadata about how to install and needed resources.
  7. <lomIntendedUserRole>
    The <lomIntendedUserRole> provides learning metadata about the normal user of the resource, most dominant first.
  8. <lomInteractivityLevel>
    The <lomInteractivityLevel> provides learning metadata about the level of interactivity between an end user and the learning object.
  9. <lomInteractivityType>
    The <lomInteractivityType> provides learning metadata about the the type of interactivity supported by the resource.
  10. <lomLearningResourceType>
    The <lomLearningResourceType> provides learning metadata about the specific kind of resource used, most dominant kind first.
  11. <lomOtherPlatformRequirements>
    The <lomOtherPlatformRequirements> provides learning metadata information about other software and hardware requirements.
  12. <lomSemanticDensity>
    The <lomSemanticDensity> provides learning metadata about a subjective measure of the learning object's usefulness as compared to its size or duration.
  13. <lomStructure>
    The <lomStructure> provides learning metadata about the underlying organizational structure of the resource.
  14. <lomTechRequirement>
    The <lomTechRequirement> provides learning metadata about the operating system(s) under which the learning resource can run.
  15. <lomTypicalAgeRange>
    The <lomTypicalAgeRange> provides learning metadata about the age of the typical intended user.
  16. <lomTypicalLearningTime>
    The <lomTypicalLearningTime> provides learning metadata about the approximate or typical time it takes to work with the resource.
