Understanding Learning Objects: METS and IMS Content Packaging Explained

This training module focuses on learning objects as reusable units of instruction, beneficial for e-learning environments. According to various sources, learning objects are small electronic units of educational information that promote flexibility, customizability, and interoperability while supporting competency-based learning. This training distinguishes between the METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) and IMS Content Package methodologies, detailing their capabilities in content transmission, import, export, and packaging. Explore the convergence and divergence of these standards in enhancing educational material distribution.

  1. METS and Learning Objects METS Awareness Training

  2. What are learning objects? “a reusable unit of instruction for teaching, typically in e-learning. “ Wikipedia “small electronic units of educational information that are flexible, reusable, customizable, interoperable, retrievable, facilitate competency-based learning, and increase the value of content” Univ. of Wisconsin

  3. Learning objects

  4. IMS Content Packaging (IMS-CP) “A specification for sending learning objects from one program to another, facilitating easier delivery, reuse and sharing of materials” CETIS standards briefing • Transmit content from one VLE to another • Import content into a VLE from a resource network, repository or publisher • Export content so that it can be reused by other departments or institutions • Assemble or aggregate existing content into a single package for delivery • Transfer content from an authoring tool to a VLE or repository

  6. Some divergence in approach • Content vs. Presentation • METS: tends to make strong distinction between content and presentation • IMS-CP: presentation is content • METS segregates presentation in optional <behaviorSec>, IMS-CP includes it in <manifest> • Nonetheless: • There are assigned places for content and presentation in each so they can be mapped to each other

  7. Some possible approaches Embed IMS-CP <manifest> within METS

  9. Some possible approaches Store learning objects as METS – generate IMS files when needed Store learning objects as IMS – generate METS files when needed XSLT IMS-CP METS
