MIT OpenCourseWare content management system: https://mv-ezproxy-com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/
Note:
- When entering metadata, always remember to Save (at bottom of page) before leaving the Metadata entry page or your metadata changes will not be saved.
- Only edit the metadata fields referenced in these instructions. Be careful not to make any changes to the content of the course pages.
1. Course-level Metadata
Navigate to the Course-level Metadata tab.
Much of the Course-level Metadata will be system generated. Some metadata elements will have default values. The following sections should be checked and metadata added if needed.
1a. Course-level Metadata / General / Course Owner
A Course Owner will usually already be assigned to the course. If no owner has been assigned then add the OCW production manager, Joe Pickett (jpickett), as the Course Owner. Course-level metadata cannot be added in the CMS unless the course has an owner assigned.
1b. Course-level Metadata / General / Language
If the course is taught primarily in a language other than english, assign the appropriate IETF language code. Examples: "en-US" for American English, "es" for Spanish, "fr" for French, "de" for German, "ja" for Japanse, "pt" for Portuguese, "zh" for Chinese, "ru" for Russian.

1c. Course-level Metadata / Metadata / Metadata Contributors
If you are adding metadata to a course, add your name with the role of Creator.
If you are are validating the metadata before archiving to DSpace, also add your name with the role of Validator.
1d. Course-level Metadata / Additional Features / Course Topic
Add one or more topics as appropriate. Be as specific wit Topic/Sub-topic/Specialty as possible. If you are tempted to add several specialties under the same Sub-topic, it may be appropriate to just use the more general term.

3b. General / Description

Course Instructors are added at the Course-level and do not need to be added at the Resource-level.
MIT-affiliated Contributors should be entered as they appear in the MIT People Directory.
Where appropriate, the Library of Congress Name Authority File (NAF) should be consulted.
Usernames from online sites may be used if the real name of the contributor is not available. Indicate which site the username is associated with. Example: JSmith22 on Flickr
3d. Metadata / Learning Resource Type
Assign the Learning Resource Type (LRT) that best describes the resource. More than one LRT may be assigned, but the norm is to assign one.
3e. Metadata / Other Platform Requirements
Copy and paste the appropriate usage statement (see Platform Requirements) for the file type of the resource. For new file types you may need to craft a new usage statement.
