DATA: Standardize learningResourceType using controlled vocabulary

[jt14den]

Problem

6 out of 32 lessons (19%) are missing learningResourceType, and current values need standardization for consistent filtering.

Context

The learningResourceType field helps users filter lessons by format (Tutorial vs Guide vs Course). From your Obsidian notes, we need to use a controlled vocabulary.

Controlled Vocabulary

Use these exact values:

• Tutorial: Hands-on, step-by-step instruction with exercises
• Guide: Conceptual overview or reference material
• Activity: Interactive workshop or exercise
• Course: Multi-session structured curriculum
• Webinar: Recorded or live presentation

Current State

Missing (6 lessons need assignment):

• Building Community
• Leadership and Governance
• Social Coding and Open Source Collaboration
• Collaboration in Open Research Projects
• How to Contribute to Open Source
• (1 more)

Existing values (already correct):

• Tutorial (used correctly)
• Guide (used correctly)
• Course (used correctly)

Task

Review each lesson and assign the appropriate learningResourceType:

1. Visit the lesson URL
2. Determine the format:
   • Has hands-on exercises → Tutorial
   • Conceptual/reference → Guide
   • Multi-session structured → Course
3. Assign exact value from controlled vocabulary above
4. Update Google Sheet

Acceptance Criteria

• All 32 lessons have learningResourceType assigned
• Values use exact controlled vocabulary (Tutorial, Guide, Activity, Course, Webinar)
• Assignments match actual lesson format
• Update Google Sheet with new values

Resources

• Analysis: .github/OUTSTANDING_METADATA_ISSUES.md
• Google Sheet: inventory-lessons
• Obsidian reference: Metadata Manual Enhancement - Step 1.md

Estimated Time

1-2 hours

@jt14den

I've analyzed the Google Sheet data and found a discrepancy with the issue description.

Issue states: 6 lessons missing learningResourceType
Actual data: 26 lessons missing learningResourceType

Lessons mentioned in issue that already have values:
Building Community → Guide
Leadership and Governance → Guide
Social Coding and Open Source Collaboration → Tutorial
Collaboration in Open Research Projects → Guide

Only 1 lesson from the issue list is actually missing:

• ❌ How to Contribute to Open Source

Should I:

1. Update all 26 missing lessons (comprehensive solution)?
2. Only update the 1 lesson mentioned in the issue that's actually missing?

I'm happy to tackle all 26 lessons if that's helpful! Please advise on preferred approach.
