What is “the Curriculum”?

- from a Swedish point of viewSlide6

Basic Metadata Markup (RDF/XML)

Machine readable content and partly machine

processable

*.Detailed Metadata Markup (RDF/XML) Making the content machine processable at a detailed level (i.e. Objectives, central content and concepts, and knowledge criteria).Web-friendly API:s (REST)Content/service accessible for other Web Services to be included into ”mashups”.Tools for annotating curriculum and syllabus

Annotate and add metadata to national and local steering documents (e.g. for teachers, subject experts, publishers).Slide7

Main objective(s) of the WILD-project

Make the school curriculum digitally usefulMachine-readable and machine-processable

by the use of Semantic Web technologiesHence: meaning for humans (i.e. students and teachers) as well as for machines (i.e. software and services).Making the curriculum/steering Documents

”usable

”

by wiring

other

digital services to the curriculum

.

Make

the curriculum a part of schools

“

information ecology

”

Teachers should be able to actually

use the steering documents

when teaching by connecting pedagogical activities and resources to the steering documents.

Provide tools

to analyze

visualize the curriculum (for students, parents etc.)Slide8

We want others

to create added value by integrating and usingour Curriculum Service

in new digital (mashed-up) services for schools!Or in other words:Slide9

Demo-time

Connecting WILD to Digital Learning Resources by mashing up two services on the web:

the Spider and WILDThe Wild Curriculum Browser (ugly as hell, but it partly works)Slide12

Deliverables

Digitized Steering/Curriculum Documents. Preferably in a standardized data format. We are exploring the Curriculum Exchange Format, CEF as the basis (but this is still a fairly open issue...)Semantic Web technology: An RDF-binding to CEF for machine Processable Semantics*.A methodology* for analyzing and adding metadata and annotations to the Curriculum.

Tools* for markup and annotation (for contributing to the metadata ecology).A basic structural and descriptive markup* of the curriculum documents. For others to use and improve. A set of API:s for interacting with the curriculum service. I.e. an interface for other services to use.A couple of example services that builds upon those API:s and the curriculum service.*

Currently ongoing workSlide16
