Re: Educational Exercises and Activities Community Group

Hello All.

Is the IMS Content Packaging, SCORM, IMS Common Cartridge[1] family in 
scope for comparison? They're long-established, a little unwebby in 
their approach, so while they are zip-bundled resources they're not 
built around new W3C technologies (though they are not incompatible with 
them).

They're well understood in educational technology circles, and I think 
that many of the issues raied during their development around pedagogy 
and interoperability will be relevant here.

Regards, Phil


1. For anyone not familiar with them there are some old briefing papers 
describing them, QTI, and other potentially useful standards at 
http://publications.cetis.org.uk/c/briefings including

IMS LTI http://publications.cetis.org.uk/2012/473

IMS QTI http://publications.cetis.org.uk/2011/141

IMS Content Packaging http://publications.cetis.org.uk/2005/206

ADL SCORM http://publications.cetis.org.uk/2005/235 (about an old 
version of SCORM)

Disclaimer: I worked for the organization that produced these briefings 
and am a partner in its successor organisation.
