The Schools Online Thesaurus (ScOT) provides a controlled vocabulary of terms used in Australian and New Zealand schools. It encompasses all subject areas as well as terms describing educational and administrative processes. The thesaurus links non-preferred terms to curriculum terms. It also relates terms in a browsable structure. These features make ScOT an ideal vocabulary to integrate into 'search' mechanisms of learning management systems.
There is a rapidly expanding amount of online teaching materials available to schools. New materials are being published at an amazing rate, with a wide variation in educational quality and usefulness. Indeed, teachers are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of resources. They need help in identifying high quality resources most relevant to their needs. Digital resources are often described using terms different from those used in the school curriculum.
Searching via ScOT terms enables clusters of related resources to be identified within vast pools of content. The thesaurus can be used as a tool to zoom in on items of interest.
