Every step of the instructional process can get much advantage from the several educational resources (contents and tools) available on the Web. The main problem is to find the most appropriate resources for our goals, and the information to use/re-use them in our teaching/learning activities. Several standard metadata schemes exist and are used, such us Dublin Core and IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM), that can enhance web instructional resources discovery, even if they were mainly designed for the web-cataloguing of bibliographic items. In this paper we propose a classification scheme of instructional digital resources, specifically adapted for the instructional process we will illustrate, taking into account that web resources can be teaching/learning materials (learning objects), but also “tools”, i.e. computer software, that need additional technical information to be used.

Abstract
Every step of the instructional process can get much advantage from the several educational resources (contents and tools) available on the Web. The main problem is to find the most appropriate resources for our goals, and the information to use/re-use them in our teaching/learning activities. Several standard metadata schemes exist and are used, such us Dublin Core and IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM), that can enhance web instructional resources discovery, even if they were mainly designed for the web-cataloguing of bibliographic items. In this paper we propose a classification scheme of instructional digital resources, specifically adapted for the instructional process we will illustrate, taking into account that web resources can be teaching/learning materials (learning objects), but also “tools”, i.e. computer software, that need additional technical information to be used.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
