Background 

LOLA serves multiple purposes. At its home at Wesleyan, it serves as a way for them to keep track of the 

Learning Objects that are developing as part of their Learning Objects project.  

The intention is to use LOLA to present their Learning Objects rather than having to make a container for 

each object by hand. It will also allow for the discovery of materials developed by other faculties.  

Within the context of the group of schools participating in this project, it will make visible a wider group 

materials that would otherwise not be available

To facilitate this aspect of the project, LOLA allows for the creation of customized metadata schemes that 

allow the basic metadata schema to be extended to meet local needs.

metadata harvesting methods.
