Development and Assessment of a Public Discovery and Delivery Interface for a Fedora Repository



uVA metadata

The Central Digital Repository is comprised of digital objects produced by the Electronic Centers, Information Communities, the Digital Library Production Service, and commercial vendors. These objects are expressed as METS encoded text documents and can contain information marked up in elements from external standards as necessary. In this system we assume that there are two distinct categories of information regarding the objects that can be indexed and used for descriptive and administrative (including technical) purposes.

Learning objects for problem solving

Instructional Engineering For Learning Objects Repositories Networks
Gilbert Paquette

The EML concept challenges the over importance devoted to learning objects seen solely as information packages. As Rob Koper (2001) puts it: “A lot of learning does not come from knowledge resources at all, but stems from the activities of learners solving problems, interacting with real devices, interacting in their social and work situation. A lot of research about learning processes provides evidence for this stance that learning doesn’t come form the provision of knowledge solely, but that it is the activities of the learners into the learning environment which are accountable for the learning.” The emphasis on learning designs is also justified from a reusability perspective. For example, Michael Feldstein (2002) asserts that “content is harder to recycle than design”, that “recycling design can give bigger gains than recycling content” and, on the other hand, that “reusability (of learning objects) breaks some instructional designs”

Swahili Learning Objects

This site has been designed for learners of Kiswahili as a second or other language. Kiswahili Swahili language is at time referred to as Kiswahili.

Welcome to Learning Objects site.

The goal of this object to to facilitate reflection on learning objects. Of what essence is the creation, diffusion and reuse of learning objects. As a field guide to learning object I am going to focus on trend and development of learning object in the instruction of Swahili language.
