Nowadays… standards are being applied “at scale” Thanks to Dan Rehak (CMU)
We’ve come a long way… Ariadne: 1995 ADL: 1997 Content packaging LOM LO LO LOM LOM Simple sequencing LMS CMI LOM LO LOM Admin LO LO LOM LOM QTI RCD
We’ve got some work left… • LOM is only “SCORM book” standard • XML binding under ballot • Various points in standards lifecycle • CMI, Sequencing, Packaging, Repository, … • Application and deployment “at scale” • Good practice guidelines • Application profiles • …
We’ve got other stuff on our plates… • What is so specific to learning about • Metadata DC-LOM • Packaging MPEG-21 • Sequencing SMIL • Repositories Z39.50 • Standards are for developers, tools, …not for end users • “do you do SCORM?” • What to standardize when? • Big picture? • European requirements • Standards do not guarantee good learning! • Nor good travel, literature, dinner, …
European projects and Standards standard standard Analyse standard standard Develop& Modifyspec Develop& Modifytools
So? • Standards are not specifications • Consensus building takes time • Open & fair process • Increase scope dramatically • SCORM includes LOM, based on ARIADNE DoD, Microsoft, UfI, ALIC, MIT, • Progress through continuity • Standards give you continuity
The End... Questions? Thanks! http://www.ariadne-eu.org http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~erikd
