RE: Educational Exercises and Activities Community Group

Phil,

Thank you for the topics and for the briefing papers. I added the topics to the wiki page for discussing existing technologies.


Best regards,
Adam

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.

I created a wiki page for discussing existing technologies (e.g. QTI, LTI, EDUPUB) at https://www.w3.org/community/exercises-and-activities/wiki/Existing_Technologies . I can add some content comparing and contrasting our approaches to that page. Please feel free to improve upon the wiki pages.

QTI items can be processed into a number of other formats including those which we intend to develop. We’re considering ZIP-bundled resources which are to include a number of existing and new W3C technologies (e.g. HTML5, CSS and JavaScript). Every simple [1] and composite [2] QTI item, drawing from the QTI set of interactions [3], will be able to be processed into the technologies to be devised by our group, and in a number of ways, but not every exercise or activity in our formats will be able to be processed into QTI.


Best regards,

Hans De Four,

Thank you for your question. You may also find interesting our group’s wiki (https://www.w3.org/community/exercises-and-activities/wiki/Main_Page). I made a note to create a wiki page for discussion of existing standards and technologies (e.g. QTI v3) including as pertinent to your question.


Best regards,

Dear,

I received information about the group the Educational Exercises and Activities Community Group and its mission to develop standards for educational exercises and activities and to make recommendations with regard to other standards.

I'm already wondering how this relates to the QTI-standard (https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/qtiapip).

What will be the difference?
Thanks for your reply!
