Contribution
The Erickson Research Centre is developing e-Value: a multimedia system for the assessment of learning skills, the design of educational interventions and the delivering of learning content.
For transferring educational material from traditional supports like books or CD-ROM there are two needs:
1. to transform it in an independent (and sometimes interactive) format like learning objects or ebooks
2. to describe this material for being recognized and retrieved by an automatic system, and browsable or searchable through a search engine.
One of the aims of this research was to find a set of metadata which could describe the material in every aspect of content, cognitive context, application, consequences.
