Vision / what we want
Flexible, student-centric learning trajectories
The teacher being able to choose the best learning materials – no lock-in to the textbooks, but leveraging the textbooks
Schoolmanagement can negotiate to get the best learning materials for the best price

After EDRENE / The Hague + Poitiers
We thought to have a (then) vague plan
We continued the road we foresaw …….
We become more en more convinced this is the plan … and it becomes more and more clear

5 ingredients to flexibilise the curriculum
1. Framework of educational concepts2. Detailed curriculum concepts =>
backbone of textbooks / (open) learning lines
3. Linked data-technology4. Mixing open content / textbooks5. ‘Business models’ for publishers, schools,
teachers

Agenda
What is this Framework Why do you want it? What does it have to do with our current
services like Edurep? What does it contain?

Message of this presentation:
This framework of concepts (‘FEC’) forms the new basis for vocabularies to
tag & find learning objects Provides a solution for existing bottlenecks
with metadata: durable metadata Enables the next step towards creating
(semi-) automatic metadata
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Metadata: the gasoline for our Kennisnet-services like Edurep
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Metadata: Achilles heel
Far too little metadata Good quality (curriculum-
relation) ? Who adds the metadata– Expensive!– Expertise!
Versioning / problems with durability
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Same concepts have in different vocabulaires a different name, can not be related

? The same?
Examples of problems with metadata:1. unambiguous of concepts
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Examples of problems with metadata:2. Frequent (yearly) changes in vocabulaires (because of politics / law)
Term 1

Often only a few terms change
However the complete vocabulaire should be replaced
mapping neededEvery tool (search portal
ánd repository) should change to this new vocabulaire

We should find a smarter way …we need the next step!
The framework of educational concepts!!
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Framework of Educational Concepts (‘FEC’)
All terms and their mutually relations needed to describe education, to start with the curriculum
Every terms carefully decomposed (Atomise)
Unambiguous described(Harmonise) Rich described(Describe) Relations between terms (Relate)
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
What kind of concepts can be found in the FEC? Curriculum descriptions / terms!
Subjects / learning domains Learning level (f.e. European
framework of reference Learning objectives Detailed achievement
standards: Secundary & vocational (detail) competencies and skills ….
We were inspired by international developments
Peer-countries like: USA: Achievement Standards Network
Sweden: ‘Curriculum in the Cloud’
France
EUN
Right now in The Nederlands
‘Framework’ is controlled by EduStandaard– Open procedure, broad support
May 10th the Framework will be filled with the first sets (vocabulaires)
Kennisnet-services like Edurep and MetaPlus will be FEC-proof before the summer (‘FEC-based vocabulaires’

Why is the Framework a smart idea?1. The same terms get 1 unique id

Framework in combination with Linked Data-technology enables (semi-) automatically adding metadata
Why is the Framework a smart idea?

Besides findability of learning materials there are lots of applications
Enrichment of the curriculum Accountability Individual learning lines Continuous leerning paths Benchmarking

Impact voor u?
Vocabulaires blijven op dezelfde manier te gebruiken, zowel voor zoekportals als voor repositories– Nieuw: opgebouwd uit duurzame begrippen uit
het OBK Bestaande metadata blijft bruikbaar, Edurep
ondersteunt de mappings Flexibiliteit in het samenstellen van vocabulaires
Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
In summary:
The Framework of educational concepts:– Offers solutions for current bottlenecks
with metadata– Enables semi-automatically adding
metadata….. And other applications
Important current metadata (Edurep etc) seamleslly fits to this new way of working
