LETSI Technical Roadmap Committee Meeting
Agenda - July 13, 2010
• Architecture: Beyond Content Portability
• Runtime Web Services for Learning
• Joint study group with the IEEE LTSC
• Three new projects

LETSI Roadmap Paper - SummaryLETSI Roadmap Paper - SummaryThe content portability model impedes
adoption of elearning advances (immersive, intelligent, collaborative, mobile, ...).
In the future, complex, web-hosted learning activities and applications will share data with enterprise LMSs and with each other.
LETSI is following an incremental, market-driven approach, starting with a service-oriented transport mechanism for AICC CMI and ADL SCORM data.

Content Portability Isn’t EnoughContent Portability Isn’t Enough

Some teachers & learners don’t have an enterprise LMS.
Innovative content isn’t portable. Publishers want to offer complex learning activities and advanced apps and services.
The innovation cycle is tied to enterprise software vs. web software, where barriers to adoption are lower and exploring new products is less costly and less risky.

Hosted learning activities of increasing complexity from publishers
Web apps for teachers: find, preview, customize, plan lessons, make assignments, observe students, coach in real time, track progress, recommend, ...
Apps for managers, parents, private tutors
Teachers & SMEs can publish new lessons to the web, like publishing photos to Flickr

LETSI’s ContributionLETSI’s ContributionHosted learning activities and innovative
web apps can be introduced in parallel with the current LMS-based architecture.
What is needed is a set of abstract web services and data models for secure inter-application data exchange across the net.
LETSI’s first project created a new Internet transport mechanism for AICC CMI and ADL SCORM data.

LETSI Runtime Web ServicesLETSI Runtime Web ServicesPhase 1 spec available. Developer’s Guide
and code samples also available on wiki.Currently implementing and testing
LMS: Rustici’s SCORM Cloud, Booz Allen Hamilton’s Atlas Pro, Meridian’s Global LMS
Content: Boeing, ECS, IAI, OutStart, Imedia.it, Pipwerks, Wise Learning Solutions.
More content testers needed, especially developers of out-of-browser, immersive, intelligent, and/or mobile learning activities.

RTWS Next StepsRTWS Next StepsFeedback to IEEE LTSC re:
Small changes to CMI data model (1484.11.1) Totally rewritten XML binding (1484.11.3) Web services - alternative transport
mechanism
Promote adoption in projects E.g., free-standing game, simulation,
collaboration, virtual world, ITS, and mobile Viral adoption and continued evolution as a
community source project. Start Phase 2 project late in 2010
