'This Web page offers a variety of resources to help explain and evaluate the educational potential of tools designed for online collaborative work on documents. We focus, in particular, on college and university use of "Google Docs & Spreadsheets." '
Across Europe, Ministries of Education and other providers of educational content are now offering a wide-range of catalogues and large repositories of online learning resources to schools. However, as the number of resources in these repositories continues to expand, educational budgets are struggling to cope with the increasing demand for better quality metadata that will enable teachers and learners to quickly and easily find the specific learning materials they need.
The MELT project has been specifically designed to address this issue by:
* Enhancing the precision of the metadata applied to educational content
* Helping educational content providers meet the growing challenge of volume metadata creation.
