Hello all, I'm running a webinar on "learning resource metadata for
schema.org" starting 3pm on 27 July. If you are interested in enabling
search engines to provide richer search results in order to make it
easier for teachers and learners to find relevant resources (hopefully
your resources) then you should consider attending.
In this webinar we will explore the background, intent and output of the
Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI). The LRMI has proposed
extensions to the schema.org microdata vocabulary with the aim of
facilitating the discovery of learning resources through major search
engines and other discovery services. We will provide an introduction to
schema.org and describe the specific approach taken by LRMI. The target
audience is staff from UK Further and Higher Education with an interest
in the resource dissemination of learning resources (for example Open
Educational Resources, OERs) and building services for their discovery,
especially those people involved in JISC projects and services. If
demand is high priority will be given to this audience. The webinar will
start at 15:00 UK time and run for about 2 hours.
