Transcript of The Learning Federation, Taiwan Roundtable X10
The Le@rning Federation
• A collaborative initiative of the Government of Australia, the Australian states and territories and New Zealand governments managed by Curriculum Corporation
• Acquire digital content to support curriculum needs of schools
• Provide required infrastructure to distribute this material to schools
• The material is available free to all schools through education jurisdictions and sectors
Successful ingredients
Simple toolsEngaging content
Well trained teachersRobust infrastructure
Current practice
• Engage with cultural institutions• Select content manually• Transform for educational
purposes• Attach a presentation layer
and publish
Issues• Time consuming• Labour intensive• Expensive• Limited output• Not sustainable
TLF & centrally brokered content
Content that can be shared or exchanged (National/State based
repositories, tertiary sector, scientific organisations)
Metadata harvested fromcultural and public organisations
TLF Quality Assurance ProcessEducation Soundness; IP; Keywords; Editorial
National Pool of Content suitable for education sector- quality assured
- appropriate conditions of use
Distributed via EducationJurisdiction Portals and Learning
EnvironmentsDistributed via Central Access Portal
(eg Scootle)
Changing business model
Harvesting metadata
OAI – PMH orRSS 2.0 – Open Search
ATOM / RSS 2.0
ANZ-LOM (IEEE – LOM)
Why explore this as a model? And what are the implications for education value?

Q1. Is this a sustainable and effective model for getting museum content into
schools?
Q2. What are the considerations for education value within this model?
Learning activies
Effective
The Challenge: managing change
Museums• System infrastructure that facilitates file transfer• IP – streamline copyright and licencing processes• Database fields to accommodate education description• Develop Metadata - quality and quantity with this audience in
mind
TLF• Metadata harvest system software• Manage a variety of content distribution
standards• QA process and publish process• Metadata exchange with museums
Schools• Access to content that resides online at museum websites• One stop shop for teachers and students
Agreement on Standards & Protocols
Agreed Transfer Protocols• RSS 2.0 via Open Search• OAI PMH (Open Archives Initiative)• Atom 2.0 (future)
Metadata Profile• ANZ-LOM (interpretation of IEEE LOM)
Metadata Fields• 28 mandatory metadata fields – (Dublin Core, LOM,
ISO controlled vocabularies)
