Message-ID: DCMI/ASIS&T webinar with Phil Barker & Lorna Campbell of Cetis, UK ******************Please excuse the cross postings****************** *Join DCMI/ASIS&T for our joint November webinar:* --*Title:* *The Learning Resource Metadata Initiative, describing learning resources with schema.org , and more?* --*Date:* 19 November, 2014 --*Time: *10:00am-11:15am EST (UTC 15:00) World Clock: http://bit.ly/1pKiCUj --*Event webpage:* http://dublincore.org/resources/training/ *or* https://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-DCMI-11-19-2014-register.html ========================================================================= *ABOUT THE WEBINAR:* The Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI) is a collaborative initiative that aims to make it easier for teachers and learners to find educational materials through major search engines and specialized resource discovery services. The approach taken by LRMI is to extend the schema.org ontology so that educationally significant characteristics and relationships can be expressed. In this webinar, Phil Barker and Lorna M. Campbell of Cetis will introduce schema.org and present the background to LRMI, its aims and objectives, and who is involved in achieving them. The webinar will outline the technical aspects of the LRMI specification, describe some example implementations and demonstrate how the discoverability of learning resources may be enhanced. Phil and Lorna will present the latest developments in LRMI implementation, drawing on an analysis of its use by a range of open educational resource repositories and aggregators, and will report on the potential of LRMI to enhance education search and discovery services. Whereas the development of LRMI has been inspired by schema.org, the webinar will also include discussion of whether LRMI has applications beyond those of schema.org. *SPEAKERS:* *Lorna Campbell* has worked in the domain of open education technology and interoperability standards for over fifteen years and has contributed to the development of a number of learning resource metadata specifications. Phil and Lorna were commissioned by Creative Commons to manage the third phase of the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative. LRMI is co-led by Creative Commons and the Association of Educational Publishers (AEP)--now the 501(c)(3) arm of the Association of American Publishers. *Phil Barker* is a research fellow at Heriot-Watt University who has worked supporting the use of learning technology in Higher Education for twenty years. For much of this time he has worked with Lorna M. Campbell as part of Cetis. His work focuses on supporting the discovery and selection of appropriate resources, and he has contributed to the development of a number of learning resource metadata specifications. He was on the technical working group of the learning resource metadata initiative and has since worked on the third phase of LRMI promoting its uptake and use. ========================================================================= *For more information and to register, visit the event webpage:* *DCMI:* *http://dublincore.org/resources/training/ * or *ASIS&T:* https://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-DCMI-11-19-2014-register.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
