    Audience

    The property audience represents the relationship between a resource and the class of persons for whom the resource is intended or useful (e.g. the resource is a textbook for psychologists, etc.). To specify an audience more precisely use mediator or educationLevel.

    Mediator

    This property represents the relationship between a resource and the class of persons who mediate access to the resource and for whom it is intended or useful. This might be teachers, parents etc. (e.g. teachers are mediators for a resource intended to be used in elementary school lessons)

    EducationLevel

    This property refers to information about the progress of an audience through the educational or training context, for which the described resource is intended (e.g. the resource is an English workbook for students of the 4th - 5th grade).

    InsctructionalMethod

    This property refers to the process used to engender knowledge, attitudes and skills, that the described resource is designed to support. Typically it includes ways of presenting instructional materials or conducting instructional activities, patterns of learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor interactions, and mechanisms by which group and individual levels of learning are measured. Instructional methods include all aspects of the instruction and learning processes from planning and implementation through evaluation and feedback.

    Guidelines for the creation of content for properties describing education material

    You should use formal or informal controlled vocabularies. Though none are registered by DCMI, implementors are encouraged to develop local lists of values, and to use them consistently.
