Editor's Notes
Curricular- content objects offered in the context of a course and supporting the state standards Complete- while I might not want to use all of it, I want everything I might need for my course, including assessments and activities around the material Quality- Vetted , high quality of both presentational and editorial value Easy to Use- should be easy to find and easy to integrate in my class Teaching Tool- want a teaching tool, not just a collection of media files that I have to make useful
So ideally, what are you looking for?

The team: as few as possible, but fulfilling need for project manager, subject matter experts, broad teaching experience, screen writing (writing for the screen); visual design; focus groups - end users, subject expert reviewers, programmers, technical production manager, means of distribution, support and maintenance Research to concept design, editorial development, reviews, focus groups, SME Los, text, activities, assessment, projects. Design, prototype, focus groups, revise, produce, quality assurance, instructor materials, professional development, pilot testing, accessible distribution, feedback for continuous improvement
Correlated with popular textbooks and state standards Curricular content objects in the context of a full course. All that you need to teach - open and secure instructor resources.
Learning Object architecture allows for maximum flexibility Compatible with popular LMS’s, and LORs Customizable by a teacher or an institution to target students’ needs
Media rich- video, audio, text, graphics, animation, simulation all blended together to create a learning experience Editorial rigor requires a team: subject matter experts, learning designers, writers and reviewers Instructionally sound- designed with widely accepted learning design principles.
Learning Object Architecture-- valuable for learner, essential for coherence of lessons, flexibility of use and reuse, interoperability. Start with learning objective! Integrate multi-media/multi-modal content to provide rich exposition of content.
It becomes a learning object when there is a coherent assemblage of content that presents a topic with a clear learning outcome. It becomes a rich media learning object When the mix of media elements provides multiple learning modalities (text, audio, visual, motion, Interactivity, user controls, and active learning opportunities.
Learning Object architecture serves the need to customize the depth, sequence and context to meet curricular and student needs.
This architecture enables a transparent organization of materials into a pattern of activities, lessons, chapters and units for instructors and learners, yet provides flexibility for reordering, adding and subtracting content into the course.
If we are going to build repositories that can be searched across collections, agnostic in platforms, and bring objects together to create new courses, syllabi, integrated curriculum, and other approaches, we need to all use some subset of metadata standards. We’ve chosen a set of essential criteria from the LOM standards established by IEEE, (which maps to other common standards).
We have provided examples of documents describing the NROC process, as well as the guidelines and templates we use in content development.
