Contextualised Learning Activity Repository Tools (CLARET)
CLARET will develop a prototype web service that can enable
visual exploration and the use of social bookmarking of contextual metadata
in a repository context.
The CLARET project will also explore the relationship between Learning Object Contextual
metadata and the teaching and learning context as defined by working
with practitioners.
The project will address two key needs:
-
Engage the language teaching and learning community in a body of
shared practice This will be done by creating a terminology that
derives directly from a shared language and understanding of the teaching
and learning context. The project will explore contextual metadata
in relation to sharing expertise and practice, professional development,
as well as contextual metadata more closely associated on a micro level
with the Re-Usable Learning Object (RLOs) themselves.
-
Facilitate resource discovery This will be done by
creating prototype repository web service(s) that will explore
visualisation of Learning Object metadata and teaching and learning
context
The CLARET project will further develop the regionally-based cross-sector
community of practice whichfocuses on moving towards a shared culture of
use, re-use and re-purposing of online resources to succeed in its aims.
