  1. Some experiences from the CALIBRATE project V. Batagelj, I. Kavkler, M. Lokar, Faculty of mathematics and physics, University of Ljubljana

  2. SIO and LRE • SIO: Slovenian educational network • Established in 1995 • ‘Index’to educational resources • Based on ‘home made’ catalogue system called Trubar • Connection to LRE • Technicaly easy to connect, essentially no problems • All problems were (and some still are) related to compatibility of metadata of both systems

  3. What are educational resources • SIO • Metadata catalogue • Possible to store resources, but this is not its primary task • Includes also descriptions of books, didactical toys, web pages ... • Granularity: from assets to complete learning courses • LRE • Local storage of a resources encouraged • Mostly assets and short learning units

  4. Metadata mappings • Similar data, but differently structured • Classification schemes differ • To whom the resource is appropriate for • LRE: age range • SIO: school year • Classification keywords • LRE: fixed thesaurus • SIO: subject field • Technical differences • LRE: separated fileds for each author • SIO: list of authors (free text) • Metadata about availability • LRE: Creative Commons license is strongly recomended • SIO: free, public, shareware, commercial (CC is relatively new)

  5. Problems • Language • LRE is a multilingual system • Majority of resources is in national language • Problems with translations • English as an intermediate language at least for certain important metadata where automatic translation is not possible (title, free keywords...)

  6. Problems • Curriculum mapping • Maintaince of mappings • Changes of curricula (historical prespective) • Typical example from Slovenia • In 1995: 8 year primary school • Now: 9 years
