1. I am covered by Vassilios Protonotarios definition. Also, as Miguel-Angel argued, the important issue is reusability. 2. I do have a pre-defined process of creating learning resources. a. I make a draft of what the final resource should be b. I search for appropriate content c. I evaluate the retrieved content d. I create the educational resource e. I evaluate the produced outcome 3. A have a simple evaluation process, assessing the learning resource using criteria from the LORI questionnaire. Due to the differences in the context each time I select only the related criteria. 4. It is still very difficult to find free related content online that could be used to create a new learning resources? Most of the high-quality content it is still under commercial licences and even they can't always be used (at least by me) too easily to create a new learning resource. 5. I share my resources online and I use Creative Commons licences.

Q1. I have indead described in the past learning resources by using metadata. I mostly use the following metadata elements: title, description, keywords, tags, educational context, topic, IPR etc. Q2. I agree with other colleagues that using metadata for describing learning resources with metadata is a hard and time-consuming task but it's very useful for indexing and retrieving the learning resources. It is something that we have to do for the targeted users and it has great value. Q3. Both aspects are very important. A learning resource described only partially in clear and correct language has the same problem with a learning resource fully described using improper language. They will be hard to retrieve. Q4. As I mentioned before the main benefits are the positive effects on the indexing and retrieval of the resources.
