Institute of Education University of London

The Institute is the venue for the SC36 March 2007 workgroup and plennary meeting. This Sunday I have spent in workgroup 4 on Management and Delivery. Behind this title the work on MLR – Metadata for Learning Resources. The discussion so far has been to some extend focused on questions about the framework – but a little to much on the structure of the document and details.

Now – at the end of the day – the discussion moved towards more interesting things. What is the purpose of MLR, what should be mandatory, should anything be mandatory, which are the real value MLR can bring to the learning community.

Can you be conformant to MLR without using some mandatory MLR-element? For leagacy systems which uses other schemas perhaps the use of MLR would be just to add the specific learning information, not nessesary any mandatory, from MLR. This would suggest the “user” to create an application profile which consists of their legacy schema and part of MLR.

More on my weblog.
