7. 7/12 2.1 DETLRM Metadata elements and vocabularies to describe learning resources in NSW DET ■Developed collaboratively by LTS/KSS ■Includes Schools and TAFE Vocabularies KLA, Stage RAM categories, AQF ■Based on IEEE LOM (Learning Object Metadata) ■Underpins description and discovery of resources in LRR and TaLe ■Updated by Standards Reference Group ■Common metadata standard in DET…

8. 8/12 2.1.1 Why do we need a common metadata standard in DET ? Interoperability ■to allow us to conform to national & international metadata standards in the education & training community Findability ■to help us find and share learning resources through DET portals, MyTAFE, Equella, TaLe. TaLe pilot ■Improved search, save search, resources ■User feedback period ■Submit our TAFE requirements http://www.tale.edu.au/tale-pilot/

9. 9/12 2.2 TaLe pilot ■save links to individual resources ■create lists of resources ■share your personal resource lists with colleagues and or students ■‘tag’ resources Try the new functions Use the online survey Provide TAFE requirements …  http://www.tale.edu.au/tale-pilot/http://www.tale.edu.au/tale-pilot/

10. 10/12 3 Recap, update and what’s next?  Why DETLRM?  Based on IEEE LOM, international standard  Local vocabularies  Already in use, XML specifications, guidelines exist  Used and adopted in Equella trials
