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.
