JISC

Pedagogical vocabularies project

The JISC Pedagogical Vocabularies project was a short study, managed by CETIS, to scope the potential for identification, development and use of pedagogical vocabularies for the UK post-16 and HE communities. After a period of data gathering and community consultation, a Working Group of experts from various sectors and communities developed two reports along with recommendations to JISC that will be used to inform future development in this area,  in collaboration with JISC partners. 

Report 1 Pedagogical Vocabularies Review, which inventories existing pedagogical vocabularies, including flat lists, taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies and classification schemes, relevant to the UK post-16 and HE education sectors, with reference to current work in Europe.
Report 2 Vocabulary Management Technologies Review, which scopes current standards, specifications, technologies and methodologies for capturing, developing and managing vocabularies.
Report 3 Priorities, Issues and Recommendations to JISC.
