METS and Learning Objects
What are learning objects?
“a reusable unit of instruction for teaching, typically in e-learning. “ Wikipedia
“small electronic units of educational information that are flexible, reusable, customizable, interoperable, retrievable, facilitate competency-based learning, and increase the value of content” Univ. of Wisconsin
Learning objects
IMS Content Packaging (IMS-CP)
“A specification for sending learning objects from one program to another, facilitating easier delivery, reuse and sharing of materials”
CETIS standards briefing
•Transmit content from one VLE to another•Import content into a VLE from a resource network, repository or publisher•Export content so that it can be reused by other departments or institutions•Assemble or aggregate existing content into a single package for delivery•Transfer content from an authoring tool to a VLE or repository

METS/IMS-CP convergence
● Content vs. Presentation– METS: tends to make strong distinction between
content and presentation– IMS-CP: presentation is content– METS segregates presentation in optional
<behaviorSec>, IMS-CP includes it in <manifest>
● Nonetheless:– There are assigned places for content and
presentation in each so they can be mapped to each other
Some divergence in approach
Embed IMS-CP <manifest> within METS
Some possible approaches
METSheader
dmdSec
admSec
behaviorSec
structMap
fileSec file inventory
descriptive metadata
administrative metadata
behaviour metadata
structural map
manifest
Some possible approaches
Store learning objects as IMS – generate METS files when needed
