Difference between version 32 and version 31:

Line 5 was replaced by line 5
- In a partnership with the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), we are building upon existing metadata standards (e.g., Ecological Metadata Language, IMS, Dublin Core) to define an extensible Educational Metadata Language (EdML). Such a tool provides a language to describe a wide variety of assessment data types and metadata about those assessments. This will enable assessments to be tagged based on taxonomies, standard psychometrics such as difficulty, discrimination, and other data to facilitate cross-study analyses.\\
