Joshua Marks, CTO @ Curriki (www.curriki.org) wrote a nice, succinct article on the relevance of LRMI (the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative) in which he has been participating as part of their Technical Working Group. There is a catchy video for the project as well…and a piece on how it relates to the Learning Registry and the Shared Learning Infrastructure projects. (linked below)
We will be joining Joshua this week in Denver with around 30 other national leaders on related work creating granular identifiers for the Common Core State Standards for better pinpointing of relevant materials and resources online as aligned to single concepts and skills often embedded in related clusters within a single standard.
