Can you clarify what do you mean by "'wrapped' with other objects that were
designed for education", please?
To me, I would say we need some mechanism of enabling such resources (BTW, I
call it NEF resource) implying a boarder (??) concept of making NEF resource
useful in educational situation. A possible mechanism may be the addition
(by associating a detached metadata record) of education metadata (such as
those suggested by IMS, IEEE LOM or DC-education WG). This little addition
will enable discovery (in an education sensitive environment). I would like
to see other higher order enabling techniques being articulated well so that
implementation may proceed.
