ABSTRACT
The application of educational metadata is nowadays often limited to the description of static resources (text or image) in order to support the retrieval process. The usage of metadata is done in a static way with respect to the (static) content and cannot influence multimedia content itself. An adequate description of dynamic multimedia content, for example animations, is also difficult.
In this paper we propose dynamic educational metadata as an extension of IEEE's Learning Objects Metadata (LOM) to describe multimedia content. These metadata can be used to customize the behavior of the multimedia object according to the user's needs. The term customization is normally used in the context of component software technology and applied in our context to denote changes and/or modifications to a multimedia learning object. These changes are necessary to match the learning goals of a user and to reuse dynamic multimedia content in a different context.

Tagging Learning Objects with Evolving Metadata Schemas
ICALT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Eighth IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning TechnologiesThis paper describes a social approach to tagging learning objects with metadata. In this approach learning objects’ creators use a metadata schema that is extended with new categories as more and more learning objects are tagged. These new categories ...

Creating Multimedia Learning Objects
WebMedia '17: Proceedings of the 23rd Brazillian Symposium on Multimedia and the WebLearning Objects (LOs) are entities that can be used, reused, or referred during the teaching process. LOs allow students to individualize their learning experience with nonlinear browsing mechanisms and content adaptation. The main goal of this ...
