IMS Global Meeting: Common Cartridge & Learning Tools Interoperability
The IMS Global quarterly meeting for mid-2009 was held at TELUQ, the distance education arm of the Université du Québec à Montréal, and a leader in e-learning research. This meeting incorporated workshops on Common Cartridge; Learning Tools Interoperability; and Curriculum Standards. (See the programme for the meeting.)
Many of the areas being addressed by the Digital Education Revolution were key concerns of the meeting:
- Lesson Plans (as they are being integrated into Common Cartridge)
- The interaction of web 2.0 technologies, and widgets in particular, with learning design tools
- Curriculum Description (as it is being integrated into Common Cartridge)
- Learning Content Discovery and Exchange (the IMS LODE project)
- Trials of Learning Tools Interoperability
- Future directions of IMS Learning Design.
One of the key focuses of the workshop was Common Cartridge as a way of packaging and distributing learning content. Common Cartridge is now up to version 1.1, and it has become important for IMS as an anchor for other activities enabling more effective learning. The meeting dedicated a day each to workshops exploring how Common Cartridge will interact with two major new initiatives, Curriculum Description and Learning Tools Interoperability.
