Thanks Andy,
Is this aggregation distinct from things like IMS Content Packaging or SCORM
i.e. describing a hierarchy of resources and describing any part of the
heirarchy with Learning Object Metadata for example? I can seee there would
be problems with LOM where images, movies and data are aggregated.
If this is the case we were planning to put everything at the end of a URL
and allow the user to create collections manually or with folders that act
like real-time queries (as email clients are starting i.e. Gmail).
If they want to export an aggregation they could use a CP, SCORM or even a
Learning Design editor.
Obviously this is very learning/ teaching focused I do not know what the
requirements are for research-type activities i.e. packaging data etc
Thanks,
Howard
