Abstract: Activity for standardization about educational information
is prosperous internationally. The LOM standard is meta-data about learning
objects. Learning objects are every types of teaching materials, learning materials,
lecturers and organizations etc. LOM is important not only to spread E-learning,
also to realize the effectiveness of information technology for education, training
and learning. Primarily we looked back on the scope and the purpose of the LOM
standard. Then we described the meaning of LOM clearly on HRD from two sides;
contents oriented study and design support. Finally we introduced the LOM authoring
tool that we had developed. This tool can support to describe contents of learning
objects by LOM with vocabulary related to HRD eeds. These LOM are a basic technology
in order to provide appropriate learning objects which meet with needs for various
participants on HRD.
