8. Metadata and Its Usage Use Values Element Product, language, or operating system Mapping to books IEEE LOM standard (5pt scale) Prerequiste, co-requisite Architecture, Code Listing, Definition, Scenario Motivation, Concept, Process, Procedure Introduction, Conclusion Original context of this data (section, chapter, book) Sequence in book order, maintains source coherence Context Sequence topics by prerequisite and within topic by cognitive level Topic Select proper resource type for job/task Resource Type Select environment to match task Environment Prefer < difficulty when introducing material Difficulty prerequisites first sequencing, assess prerequisites first Relationships Select proper level for job/task, logically sequence Cognitive Level Advance organizer, reduce dangling references Rhetorical Role
Recombinant - relating to or exhibiting [data/genetic] recombination the formation by the processes of crossing-over and independent assortment of new combinations of [learning objects/genes] in [derived works/progeny] that did not occur in the [original works/parents]
Spreadsheet (easy) Created from Table of Contents Type – Module, Resource, Include, or Exclude Intended Use – optional Modules or Resources Rest of the metadata – required Modules Tried Default modularization at the section level, but SMEs wanted to control. SMEs can adjust up (to chapter) or down (to subsection or subsubsection)
If the course is large, we would like to group things into chapters. And offer prerequites information by intended use (e.g., here are some scenarios…). We plan to use intended use, difficulty, and importance to reorder the material for different types of learners as defined by the audiences.
