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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
