Abstract:
E--teaching is commonly referred to as the intentional use of networked
information and communications technology (ICT) in teaching and
learning processes. In order to be easily retrieved, shared and used by
different users and for different purposes, the various types of e- teaching
documents have to be described following common schemes and rules
e.g. specifications or standards and metadata. But the web lacks a uniform
organization scheme that would allow easy access to these e-teaching
material. It means that there should be efficient accessibility and the
recoverability of educational resources. This objective can be gained
using the ―Metadata Standards‖. Several institutions and professionals
have established Metadata Standards. In this research, a survey was
carried out to find out the existing Metadata Standards and their
characteristics to propose common Metadata standards to the e—teaching
environment. Therefore, the retrieval of information of various types
including print, images, animations, presentations, audio, and video in the
environment can be easily done.
