Where to find « travel well » attributes?

2. Easyness to find theresource

(e.g. metadata & searchability)

4. Actual use of resources(e.g. evidence that LO is used in

different contexts)

1. Creating resources(e.g. visual, easy translation,

language independent,..)

3. Selecting « travel well »resources

(e.g. personal choice vs. basedon criteria)


Finding multilingual resources (2)



This is what the end user sees


Discovering learning resources across language boundaries is challenging!

Main problem: the resource & its metadata description aremade in a different context from where

the resource is discovered and/or actually used

One part of the problem


Learning resources from

different countries and

in different languages do not cross-reference via hyperlinks!

The other part of the problem
