WHAT IS METADATA?Metadata is a term that is commonly used to refer to a coding statement (tag) that is used to describe some aspect of a web page’s contents
Metadata does not affect how a page is displayed-but provides information about the page such as who created it, what the page is about and how often it is updated.
![Page 6: Using Basic Metadata to Organize Content](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558caa5ed8b42a39388b4706/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHAT IS METADATA?In organizing your content for online learning, you can use metadata to:
• Help you and your students find, access and determine the relevance of digital content
• Identify what is included in content subunits
• Help your students determine prerequisites for learning the assigned content unit if they are having difficulty
![Page 7: Using Basic Metadata to Organize Content](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558caa5ed8b42a39388b4706/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHAT IS METADATA?In organizing your content for online learning, you can use metadata to:
• Preview what they should learn next if they have mastered the assigned content unit
• Identify related content subunits or data the assigned content unit is related to
• Identify other courses the content may be used in

ORGANIZING YOUR CONTENT
Organizing your content for e-learning can be enhanced using simple key terms as metatags.
Mindmapping is one of the ways in which you can identify simple key terms and concepts that can be used to organize content and learning activities
![Page 10: Using Basic Metadata to Organize Content](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558caa5ed8b42a39388b4706/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MINDMAPPING
In mindmapping, you identify a broad concept such as ‘Topographic Maps’ and go on to identify subtopics associated with this broad concept as shown in the next slide
BROAD CONCEPT
