Help again…I am curious how you all are discovering information about the Depol images? Is there a specific spot I should be going to for all my Depol information needs? I am sure this has been covered, but I can not remember right now.
I am wondering what building this is.
Any help is appreciated!
I am working on my Depol images and wondering who this portrait is of…check image depol_01_0blk_port_010.jpg in the Depol wiki. Or you can find it here (only LS566 admins can use this link). I am also needing the link to the Depol Indexing guidelines if anyone is wiliing.
Thanks!
Okay, so most of the indexing of football images is fine for a non-football-expert such as myself, but there are a few that I just can’t seem to figure out. What does this mean? I need help – more specifically, I need the assistance of the football savvy classmates in LS566. I especially need help identifying what exactly is happening in the images – what play is being performed, is it offensive or defensive and the like. Maybe someone could simply lead me to a resource that would give me these detail.
My collection for the football images in #15. You can find them here.
Thanks!!
This is a fantastic overview by a classmate so instead of “reinventing the wheel” I am going to reblog it. Library cooperation at its best! Great work Sindee!
When I chose this article to read, A Field Guide to Learning Objects, it took a minute to understand what this had to do with our class. Lo and behold, it’s the metadata and tagging that comes into play once again. I admit it, I didn’t see that one coming. Turns out that metadata and the tagging is used for data such description, keywords, author, language, etc. which all can be searchable. Institutions that use the Learning Objects can pull the data from their own repositories if they choose or use a third party resource. The use of metadata can also help the learning object become adaptive for the user’s competency level. They also state, “ Metadata tags facilitate rapid updating, searching, and management of content by filtering and selecting only the relevant content for a given purpose.”
Aside from the metadata information in the article, I found it…

I appreciate the feedback I received from the classmates! I made some changes and added it tentatively to the wiki. I would love some more feedback so I can get this right.
Check it out on the Football wiki and leave me a comment or two on this blog post.
Thanks – your feedback is invaluable to me!
Hey LS566 Folks – I really want some feedback on my guidelines!! Here it goes.
Label: Relation
Element Description: A reference to a related resource. This is an identifier of a second resource and its relation to the present resource. This element permits links between related resources and resource descriptions to be indicated i.e a link between one record item and another, between various aggregations of records, or a link between a record and another information resource. Recommended best practice is to identify the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system although it can also be a title. Relation is used to describe things such as: the collection in which the object belongs, a different version of the object, something the object is based on, etc.
Required: Yes
Repeatable: Yes
Guidelines for the creation of content:
Examples:
IsPartOf: University of Alabama Archival Football Photograph Collection (link item to a larger collection title)
IsFormatOf: Item no. 21, 33b-765, UA Football Photograph Collection, Paul W. Bryant Museum (links digital item such as an image to an original 35mm photo housed in a particular location)
IsPartOf: Collection finding aid located at [URL] (links resource to a finding aid of a larger collection)
IsPartOf: April–14–00 Alabama vs. ? Game (links resource to a specific game of which it is a part)
Notes: Be careful not to confuse the Relation element with Source or Format element.

SCORM or Sharable Content Object Reference Model is all about making sure that online learning is sharable. According to “SCORM Explained,” SCROM clarifies how to create the “sharable” part and highlights or “references” the standards that were already in place, gathering them together for ease of use. In this sense SCORM is not a standard in and of itself since it provides no new content but simply combines the standards that were already in existence. Since I am a firm believer that one should never “reinvent the wheel,” I think this is fantastic and makes so much sense. I am a novice in this conversation and would love to know if there is anyone who can speak to the pre-standard days where learning technology existed in silo – how bad was it?
First of all, I would like to point out that in a previous post where I talked about Legos a fellow classmate (snowkri) mentioned the possibility of using Legos to exemplify interoperability – cheers to her since this is exactly what the authors did in their article: “Everything you ever wanted to know about learning standards but were afraid to ask.” It truly is a great example of standardization!
Learning standards are simply standards for learning technology that makes online learning and such interoperable across many systems. Organizations can invest learning technology with confidence and without becoming trapped. It is necessary especially as we look to the future where more and more online learning is going to be taking place.
The authors piece of final advice I particularly liked: “Let me reassure you that while much of this may seem at times like techno-mumbo-jumbo and engineering speak, like learning any new language or way of doing something, it will seem hard at first but you will learn it quickly. Better start now and lead the pack than miss this vibrant opportunity to change and improve how all of us work and learn each day.” Pertinent advice for my fellow SLIS students and me as we look to the future! Great reminder why we are putting in the work in a Metadata class now…we are preparing for later and a sooner later than a later later.
