3.3.4 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.

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