• Average 15 min/resource*• 60% in tagging tool• 40% for prep, QA, XML post, notes• Currently 616 resources evaluated, tagged,

and aligned

“Real World” Application

“In order to arrive at a useful schema, it is necessary to take into consideration the educational criteria that K-12 publishers and educators value.”

June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board

www.lrmi.net

LRMI has balanced this at tagging level that is comfortable and achieves “scale”

05 Sept 2012

Page 10: Www.lrmi.net LRMI Proof of Concept Progress Report.

“Real World” Application

“There needs to be a property to indicate the main subject area (aka curriculum area) of the product.”

June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board

www.lrmi.net

‘about’ property in Schema.org accomplishes this goal

“Real World” Application

“Requiring publishers to correlate their products to state or Common Core standards discriminates against publishers who cannot afford the cost and/or time to do so.”

June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board

www.lrmi.net

NO REQUIREMENT, ONLY OPTIONS. In theory, the standard form of tagging should reduce the cost, especially if CCSS is focus of alignment
