More details of emerging learning technology standards initiatives have been announced. Here's the information (all quoted): "the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Data Conference, the nonprofits Ed-Fi Alliance and IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS Global) announced... Earlier this year, the two standards bodies announced their intent to implement a single, unified approach for:
- Rostering: Support for exporting data in OneRoster format from the Ed-Fi ODS / API v2.1 is currently in development... to be released through the Ed-Fi Exchange later this summer.
- Assessment: joint support for both the IMS Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) and Accessible Portable Item Protocol (APIP) specifications... as well as Ed-Fi Assessment specifications
- Outcomes: The collaboration will establish working group activities to pursue alignment around grade, gradebook and outcomes domains."
That's all. I'm sure there are stories behind the scenes about how these two organizations got together and found common ground on these specifications.
