"The 'industrialist' learning objects approach has run out of steam." This was the most telling quote from Norm Friesen's presentation posted here on Docstoc (like Slideshare, but with much bigger slides, but more usability problems). Friesen contrasts IEEE-LOM with Dublin Core and notes, first of all, that the educational metadata in LOM is almost never used, and second, Dublin Core's support for RDF allows greater protability and the creation of a 'Metadata for Learning Resources' (MLR). I've been following the latter discussion on the Standards Council of Canada / ISO website (which is frustratingly hosted on the most unusable content management system in the world) and will post updates as they come available (or findable).
