Figure 1: Metadata editor in OO OO objects, both elementary and complex, may be supplied with metadata created according to LOM, DC [4], or some proprietary schema. However, up to now authors hesitated to describe the objects and the use of metadata was limited to automatic filling in some fields. LOM metadata fields provide sufficient information to register an object in the repository, however, they are not specific enough to search and evaluate similar objects within a collection [7]. It is clear that depending on the object type and purpose of its reuse additional features should be included into the description schema. Due to extensibility of the metadata schema in the OO, competency description scheme based on competency model is completely supported by the OO metadata editor (as shown in Fig. 2). Page 4 of 8
Figure 2: Competency description scheme in OO Competency-oriented object-based authoring ensures consistent visualization for different information types, thus facilitating understanding and memorization of the presented information. Thus, a body of a competency-based course provides a framework and guidance for knowledge and skills acquisition. Any supplementary material may be provided as electronic documents or web references. Objects for the course may be created from the templates or taken from the collection of already developed objects. Thus, some fragments of the learning content from traditional curriculum-based learning courses may be reused in the competency-based course. ELTEC development The choice of language course to prove the validity and importance of competency-based training was driven by the following. Language learning in educational organization, from school to University, is intended to develop capabilities and provide basic knowledge and skills to communicate. However, it is not intended for training to apply acquired skills in specific professional communication situations. Moreover, lack of practice leads to forgetting vocabulary necessary for a “real-time” communication, thus professional communication in English becomes an important competency for many fields.
