Final 1484.12.1-2002 LOM Draft Standard. Norm Friesen writes, "the IEEE LTSC has completed the standard for encoding Learning Object metadata in XML. A free, final draft version of this standard is available." Changes from the previous version include a change in how identifiers are expressed, the addition of an 'or' component in technical requirements, and a minor change in the annotation element. Also worth noting is that the P1484.12.3 (Learning Object Metadata) was approved as a new standard by the IEEE-SA Standards Board on 10 May 2005 (which means that it is now referred to as 1484.12.3 - the 'P' for 'proposed' is dropped).

New Conceptual Framework Learning Object. Terry Anderson writes, "One of the best discoveries for me at the recent CADE conference was this Conceptual Framework learning object produced by Faculty at University of Ottawa , Ontario Institute of Technology and Durham College ." According to the description, "This learning object helps students struggling to create a conceptual framework or concept map for a major project or thesis." Nice graphics, but I didn't have two hours to give it a full review. By Terry Anderson, CIDER, May 16, 2005 [Refer][Research][Reflect] [OLDaily] 2:03:18 PM      Google It!.
