DC-2004 Pre-Conference Workshop:

Supporting the Reuse of Digital Educational Resources

10:00 - 17:00,  Sunday  10 October 2004 

Sponsor: Dublin Core Education Working Group

Co-sponsored By: The National Science Digital Library initiative

Chair:Robby Robson


This workshop explores the steps that digital libraries can take to support the adoption and adaptation of digital learning resources in multiple contexts and settings. It is based on a set of reusable design guidelines and collection policies being developed as part of the U.S. National Science Digital Library (NSDL) initiative. Key issues identified within the NSDL include the support of rich metadata, rights management, and technical interoperability.

Topics covered will include:

1. Characteristics of learning resources that increase reusability
2. Technical interoperability and technical interoperability standards (e.g. SCORM)
3. Practices that digital libraries can implement to support reuse
4. Associated metadata polices and practices

The entire workshop is interactive in nature. Participants will explore a rich set of examples and will also be asked to contribute their own experience and expertise on the above topics.

Presenter:

The primary presenter for this workshop will be Dr. Robby Robson, principle investigator of the NSDL reusable learning project and chair of the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee.
