What do we call it? architecture reference model framework design model driven application profile system pattern artifact abstraction representation
Tools and systems • A number of system models were here
What we have is: assessment metadata packaging query sequencing cmi osid “interoperability” harvest web services profiles tools competencies learning design repositories vocabulary resource lists learner records accessibility
What we don’t have is: elearning vle repositories administration “INTEROPERABILITY” grid escience collaboration lms/lcms simulation digital libraries tutors portal performance support
What we really don’t have is: • a way to describe and talk about tools and systems • a way to integrate diverse tools and systems • a common understanding of what we have done • a path forward to work on systems
eLearning Framework: Why • Supports diversity • Technological • Pedagogical • Strategy independence • Supports flexibility • Modular flexible technology base • Adaptability to changing business needs • Faster response to community needs • Staged adoption/implementation • Technical benefits
eLearning Framework: Why • Not just for the “techies” • Communication • Coherent vision of complex space • Communicates technical policy • Communicates domain view to other domains • Policy support • Supports collaboration, shows appropriate roles • Supports strategic decision making and reporting • “Framework” for supporting activities, standards, toolkit development, research etc • Allows experimentation with different development strategies and partnerships
eLearning Framework: Why International • Costs involved in developing too high for one country • Opportunity to leverage expertise • Opportunity to leverage political will • Best opportunity to develop international interoperable systems • Need systems interoperability in order to garner full benefit of the web
eLearning Frameworks: Who, Where & When • International • Currently involved, JISC, DEST (Australia), Industry Canada, LSAL • Bulk of funding from JISC and DEST • Nationally • Officials and practitioners • NOW!
