Abstract
The use of standardized metadata for describing educational resources is one of the ongoing issues in the field of computer-supported learning. While we face an extension from describing learning objects to the annotation of learning services current standards for educational metadata still focus on instructionalism at the cost of neglecting collaborative and cooperative aspects of learning. Therefore it becomes important to rethink the concepts underlying current standards of educational metadata. In this paper we propose a data model that allows to describe resources that might be used for learning purposes with respect to diverse learning theories including those which are relevant in the field of CSCL.
