|
The metadata elements clustered under the Utilization group describe how a media item is best suited for a particular audience or age range in a learning or training setting. The media item thus becomes more than a file; it becomes a "learning object" that has an application within a specific learning context, with a degree of appropriateness and suitability for an audience. Some of the descriptors found under Utilitization are the components typically included in a "lesson plan" developed to teach a specific subject or topic, to a particular audience, with certain classroom or venue prescriptions and proscriptions. These metadata elements are partially based on the IMS Global Learning Consortium Meta-data Best Practice Guide for IEEE 1484.12.1-2002, Learning Object Metadata Standard: LOMV1.0 Base Schema + Extensions and the Public Broadcasting Metadata Dictionary Project (PBCore). In UMAP2, however, the number and extent of Utilization metadata elements has been reduced from the IEEE-LOM recommendations. The pedagogic descriptions are simply not used or referenced by educators looking for content to teach within their classrooms. Rather, educators search, evaluate and retrieve learning objects and media based on Utah's state core curriculum guidelines, subjects, courses, and objectives (that are identified in the content class "Subjects" under the metadata element usoe_k12_subject_areas." |
