The Learning Registry

A network of learning registries will record

messages about learning resources.

Information in the registry will include resource

location, tags and activity.

The SLC will build a Learning Registry Index aligned with the Common Core so applications and search

engines can discover aligned content from across the internet.

Learning Resource Metadata Initiative

LRMI will create common metadata properties that distinguish content specifically used for learning.

Content in repositories will be tagged with LRMI-defined metatags and aligned to CCSS.

This content will announce and describes itself to the Learning Registry network.
