Dear all
Excuse any cross postings.
The second eBrochures is now available online keep you informed about the
CEN/ISSS Learning Technology Workshop and progress in other standards and
specifications activities.
http://www.cenorm.be/isss/Workshop/lt/ebrochure/number2.htm
This issue focuses on EMLs, Educational Modelling Languages.
An agreed format for describing educational material could be an incentive
to develop and evolve computer-based learning systems. There is much
attention focused in areas such as: question-test interactivity, digital
repositories for storing educational resources in a coherent and rational
way and learning object metadata for annotating learning material with
metadata tags.
A widely accepted EML would enable learning material to be described
extensively using agreed definitions.
Other active Workshop projects include activities about
Internationalisation of the emerging standard, IEEE LTSC Learning Object
Metadata
Support for the identification of alternative language versions of a
learning resource
Descriptions of language capabilities to support multilinguality in
online communication by describing users in terms of which languages they
read, understand and write.
Quality description and assurance during the life cycle of a learning
resource.
A repository of taxonomies and vocabularies for a European Learning
Society
Best practice in educational copyright licensing with a view to moving
towards European harmonization.
European and global open standards for learning technologies are having a
significant impact, you are keen to take part in their creation why not
attend the next meeting of the Workshop on 4th and 5th of April in Madrid.
The Workshop web site contains more information on how to join in
