Hi I would like to share with you our proposal to schema.org to describe Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) that is available in schema.org proposals list and discussion. We have been working in this proposal for a long time after a broad review and discussion. Furthermore, we just presented this proposal in ISWC2014 and LILE2014, as a main part of our paper "An Enhanced Approach to Semantic Markup of VLEs Content Based on schema.org<http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1254/6_aldaej.pdf>". Full details of our proposal can be accessed via the following links: The proposal details: https://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/VLEs
In addition, this proposal can be also appropriate for other open online courses (e.g., MOOCs) as Course is a main type of VLEs structure. However, there is a a bit similar proposal to describe online courses which has been proposed recently by Guangyuan Piao. Full details about this recent proposal can be accessed via the link below. This is a really encouraging and shows also the high demand to add a support of online courses in schema.org. https://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Course

Hi, all.
My organization, MedBiquitous, has created a profile of lom for healthcare. V1 is an ANSI standard, V2 is in development. It’s used to describe learning activities, including accredited continuing education activities. Our current point release does include a way to tag an activity as using a VLE.
Best,

Hi, Phil.
We don’t use the notion of course in any of our standards. We did add startDateTime and endDateTime elements to healthcare lom to convey data about face-to-face CE activities. We don’t have metadata related to qualifications. Instead we have a lot of metadata related to the Continuing Education credit system and the target audience for the activity.
We do have a separate standard that is all about conveying Curriculum data, but this is for an entire health professions program curriculum, not a single course.
Best,
Valerie
