Abstract

This paper focuses on the pedagogical dimension of metadata for learning objects (LO). Devising a pedagogical metadata proposal suitable for different target users is still a hard challenge. In order to contribute towards this endeavour, we designed and evaluated an extensible model where alternative sets of metadata descriptors can be chosen, depending on the pedagogical role of the LO. We called it Pedagogy Oriented Educational Metadata (POEM) model. This paper presents the main lines of the POEM model, discussing the results of its latest validation with 120 pre-service teachers attending the Specialisation School for Upper Secondary School Teachers of the University of Genoa during the a. y. 2007-2008.
