Template:OERNZ Metadata

/ wiki

This is a template designed for New Zealand OER Metadata (OERNZ Metadata) and will automatically populate the categories defined in the template for both community wide metadata and New Zealand specific metadata. It is intended for use by New Zealand educators. Other countries that intend to generate specific categories and subcategories for national initiatives should create country specific templates like this one which will simultaneously categorise under community wide categories and country specific categories.
