3.11.6 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>.

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