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>.
In this section:
- <lcLom>The <lcLom> provides a set of specialized data elements to use to specify metadata in the learning topics and learning map domain.
- <lomAggregationLevel>The <lomAggregationLevel> describes the functional size of the learning resource.
- <lomContext>The <lomContext> describes the typical learning environment where use of the learning object is intended to take place.
- <lomCoverage>The <lomCoverage> provides learning metadata about the temporal or spatial characteristics of the content, such as historical context.
- <lomDifficulty>The <lomDifficulty> provides learning metadata about how hard it is to work through the resource for the typical target audience.
- <lomInstallationRemarks>The <lomInstallationRemarks> provides learning metadata about how to install and needed resources.
- <lomIntendedUserRole>The <lomIntendedUserRole> provides learning metadata about the normal user of the resource, most dominant first.
- <lomInteractivityLevel>The <lomInteractivityLevel> provides learning metadata about the level of interactivity between an end user and the learning object.
- <lomInteractivityType>The <lomInteractivityType> provides learning metadata about the the type of interactivity supported by the resource.
- <lomLearningResourceType>The <lomLearningResourceType> provides learning metadata about the specific kind of resource used, most dominant kind first.
- <lomOtherPlatformRequirements>The <lomOtherPlatformRequirements> provides learning metadata information about other software and hardware requirements.
- <lomSemanticDensity>The <lomSemanticDensity> provides learning metadata about a subjective measure of the learning object's usefulness as compared to its size or duration.
- <lomStructure>The <lomStructure> provides learning metadata about the underlying organizational structure of the resource.
- <lomTechRequirement>The <lomTechRequirement> provides learning metadata about the operating system(s) under which the learning resource can run.
- <lomTypicalAgeRange>The <lomTypicalAgeRange> provides learning metadata about the age of the typical intended user.
- <lomTypicalLearningTime>The <lomTypicalLearningTime> provides learning metadata about the approximate or typical time it takes to work with the resource.
