ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is (1) to review the advantages of using learning objects (LOs) and open educational resources (OER), (2) to propose the enrichment of course syllabi with LOs/OER, (3) to propose new fields to be included in metadata and ways for embedding metadata in LOs/OER, (4) to review the problem of lack of metadata in Web 2.0 sites, and (5) to propose a method for populating a detailed course syllabus with OER. For this purpose, the authors have developed an experimental tool called LO Finder.| Keywords | OER adoption · OER metadata |
