Learning Technology Standardisation Peter B. Sloep JISC-SURF-Internet2-meeting Oxford, Sept. 19-20 2002
Surf SIX Part. Univ chair OUNL IMS JISC CETIS Part. Univ SIG LD Where do I fit in?
Interop. of LT applications: standardisation • learning technology specifications metadata • content packaging • learning design (EML) • software architectures • reference architecture for lt specs • learning content management • portfolio management
LT specification • Existing initiatives • SIX: specs follower, supports NEN (equiv of BSI) • OUNL: participation in IMS CEN/ISSS • CETIS: participation IMS, CEN/ISSS/IEEE, BSI • collaboration with OUNL • Opportunities • collaboration SIX and CETIS, participation in SIGs • economies of scales, improve quality • provide countervailing power to SCORM dominance
Software architectures • Existing initiatives • some at Six level (content management system) • ‘local’initiatives: Valkenburg group (ref. archit. plus impl. projects – OUNL plus CETIS plus others) • Opportunities • scale up existing initiatives • develop common component based reference architecture • do joint middleware implementation projects: Blackboard building block for LD/EML, p2p system for learning objects, portfolio system
Opportunities for collaboration • Graft projects on existing initiatives to jointly influence global lt specification processes in IMS, CEN/ISSS, IEEE. • Save money and increase quality by building middleware to the LT- specifications (example: EML/LD interpreter – building block plug in for VLEs – RELOAD in UK)
