First Claim
1. A method of obtaining metadata for content stored in a first repository, the method to be performed at a second repository, the method comprising:
- identifying a content object stored in the first repository, the content object comprising learning content usable in an electronic educational system to provide electronic learning;
identifying metadata for the content object stored in the first repository, the metadata associated with the learning content of the content object;
retrieving the metadata associated with the learning content from the first repository; and
storing a harvested content object corresponding to the content object, wherein the harvested content object comprises the metadata associated with the learning content of the content object stored in the first repository.

15. A server comprising:
-
a memory that is configured to store instructions for hosting a second repository that obtains metadata for content stored in a first repository; and a processor that is coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to execute the instructions, identify a content object stored in the first repository, the content object comprising learning content usable in an electronic educational system to provide electronic learning;
identify metadata for the content object stored in the first repository, the metadata being associated with the learning content of the content object;
retrieve the metadata associated with the learning content from the first repository; and
store a harvested content object corresponding to the content object, wherein the harvested content object comprises the metadata associated with the learning content of the content object stored in the first repository. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
