Below is a link to a recent and very interesting presentation from Education Services Australia (ESA) on ‘The Digital Australian Curriculum’  at http://www.usq.edu.au/~/media/USQ/lia2011/ACARA%20Curriculum%20Connect%20LIA.ashx .

This presentation covers the National Digital Learning Resources Network, ACARA, Australian Curriculum Connect, and the ACC pilot.

A recent post http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/01/metadata-digital-publishing.html from the publishing area explains how creating ‘metadata isn’t a chore, it’s a necessity’. This is a timely reminder about the continuing value of creating relevant metadata to help enable people to find your digital resources.

On a similar topic Irvin Flack and Evan Bailey presented at ALIA Information Online 2011 Conference in Sydney on February 1  on ‘Metadata for the uninterested’. PowerPoint available  [5.7MB] on ALIA website.
