Application Profiles PDP Personal Goals PDP PDR PDP Activities Achievements Planning Data PDP
Implementing IMS LIP • LIP alone is not sufficient to facilitate interoperability • Detailed negotiation on field semantics, data format and vocabularies • Alternate implementations of LIP are possible
Working with Vendors • Commitment • Timescales and priority • Equality of partnership • Engagement and communication
Cultural Impact • Lifelong Learning Records • Immaturity of PDR/P • LLWR • Ystrad Mynach College • Developing eLearning Culture • Research Project • Learning Industries • Expertise in LIP and Interoperability • Development of Next Generation PDR
Conclusions • Demonstrated Interoperability of LLRs • Detailed Interoperability Specification • Demarcation of PDR and PDP Data • LIP Only Initial Interoperability Framework • Achieving LIFELONG Learning Records? • Interoperability Key Issue of Future
