This lightning talk introduces the Concordia Library’s use of a metadata management system called SWALLOW for building online instructional materials. SWALLOW was developed in/house and is being used for a variety of purposes including creating template/based online learning resources. The talk will highlight key benefits of the approach of handling instructional materials as structured data in SWALLOW, including: alignment with near/future web trends, discoverability, accessibility, sustainability, and support of innovative content development. Two examples will be shown of content development using this approach: Quick Things for Digital Knowledge learning capsules and Critical Information Literacy modules.
