Discussion of IMS ePortfolio Future Directions CETIS ePortfolio SIG London October 22, 2007
IMS ePortfolio 1.0 • Released June 2005?? • Based on existing IMS specifications • Mostly LIP + CP • Attempts to map full domain • Focus on transfer of full portfolios • Slow uptake, but some strong implementations of export
Feedback • Too monolithic • Need to exchange smaller pieces of learning / personal information • Would like to support multiple other standards • HR-XML • Europass CV / Language Passport • eduPerson, FOAF, hResume, etc. • Services needed • Too complicated • Expense and difficult to implement
Possible Direction • Smaller elements and services are being (or should be) addressed by more general specifications or “speclets” • e.g. HR-XML • Portfolio characterized by items and relationships --> focus on relationships • Profile existing specification • Easier to implement • Focused on what’s specific to portfolios
Possible approaches • Packaging-centered • Leave the details to packaged specifications • CP + relationships (in manifest) • Easy match with existing specification • Webfolio-centered • RDFa or microformats within XHTML • Align with LEAP 2 • Builds in export functions present in many products • Nothing
