Creating and Finding Learning Objects: More Steps I'm reposting this CETIS article about the Design of Learning Object Repositories, with Stephen Downes' comments from OLDaily. _____ ADL Takes First Step to Repository Profile. Interesting. As Wilbert Kraan summarizes it, "With the publication of a report on 'Emerging and Enabling Technologies for the Design of Learning Object Repositories', ADL is taking the first tentative steps to designing a learning object repository application profile to complement its existing learning object reference model, SCORM." As I have discovered in my own work (and as OAI discovered in theirs), you can't just rely on learning object jetadata to make the contents of a metadata repository accessible. At the very least, you need some sort of index or list - and that entails another profile. Or, if all else fails, RSS will do the trick.
