02 Metadata
Metadata is descriptive meta-information, which can be added to tasks and test content. It helps to structure content and make it searchable, especially with large amounts of content.
In addition to traditional metadata such as title, description, and keywords, you can provide your test questions with comprehensive classification information regarding learning objectives, department, module, target group, and level of difficulty. All metadata is searchable and can be used as a basis for an Attribute-oriented test compilation.
The metadata description and storage are carried out based on the internationally recognised IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) Standards. The metadata fields are freely configurable depending on the ONYX system. Therefore, the displayed fields may differ from the ones described here.
General
The metadata category General contains key information about the opened resource. Apart from information about the title, a description, and the language used, you can also add keywords to the resource. The Show details button displays further specific metadata, such as the identifier. Use this specific ID to search for content in the search field.
Origin and Status
This metadata category provides an overview of the content's life cycle: When and by whom the content was created, and when it was last edited. The author can store the editing status.
Metadata field: Status
The processing status provides important information on the current stage of completion, and thus on the content quality. You can choose between Draft, Review, and Final. By applying a status, simple editing and review processes can be realised.
Similar to all metadata fields, the status can be used to search for content or to display all content with a specific status, e.g. draft. Furthermore, the status can also be displayed in the summary tables to get a quick overview of the content statuses.
Classification
The metadata category Classification enables you to add information on learning objectives, department, module, target group, difficulty level, and much more.
