Adaptation of pedagogical resources description standard (LOM) with the specificity of Arabic language
This work is incremental, aiming to improve metadata standards for Arabic language learning resources, which could benefit educators and learners in Arabic-speaking regions.
The paper addresses the challenge of adapting the Learning Object Metadata (LOM) standard to Arabic language pedagogical resources by considering its linguistic complexities like flexion, voyellation, and agglutination, along with educational factors such as student levels and context, but provides no concrete results or numbers.
In this article we focus firstly on the principle of pedagogical indexing and characteristics of Arabic language and secondly on the possibility of adapting the standard for describing learning resources used (the LOM and its Application Profiles) with learning conditions such as the educational levels of students and their levels of understanding,... the educational context with taking into account the representative elements of text, text length, ... in particular, we put in relief the specificity of the Arabic language which is a complex language, characterized by its flexion, its voyellation and agglutination.
