UK JISC Approach
• Focus on the use of shared contentAll learning management systems must demonstrate IMS packaging interoperability using test packages.
• Develop long-term software supportBodington – Funded by Oxford, Manchester and Leeds Universities from academic budgets.
• Support multiple pedagogiesClasses, Tutorials, Tutored distance learning, self study
• Integration with library systemsDirect links to library catalog entries, availability at libraries, reserve

Bodington
“The Bodington System is different: it gives you buildings, floors, and rooms to allow you to structure your material the way that most fits the structure of your courses and it gives you tools such as discussion rooms, questionnaires, web documents, multiple choice papers etc. which you can arrange in any way you like.”

Bodington
“If it's appropriate you can publish your lecture notes as a set of pages in a reading room but if you want students to interact with you and the lecture notes you could create a discussion room instead and publish them as attachments to a series of messages you post throughout the course. You could even upload material into a multiple choice paper and use them in the feedback notes for the paper.”

Advanced Distributed Learning
“The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), is a collaborative effort between government, industry and academia to establish a new distributed learning environment that permits the interoperability of learning tools and course content on a global scale. ADL's vision is to provide access to the highest quality education and training, tailored to individual needs, delivered cost-effectively anywhere and anytime.”

ADL SCORM
“The SCORM is a reference model that defines the interrelationship of course components, data models and protocols so that learning content objects are sharable across systems that conform with the same model. The SCORM contains a collection of specifications adapted from global specification bodies and consortia to provide a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities enabling interoperability, accessibility and reusability of Web-based learning content.”

ADL “Rumors”
• Preparing materials for a class, the Department of Defense now requires previously developed learning materials be (1) used if available and appropriate, or (2) repurposed. If none are available, (3) developed.
• To implement his policy, the ADL development interest has now turned to digital repository access and metadata practices.
• Some of the ADL staff would prefer an “open source” software development.

Supplement
During subsequent discussions, references were made to simple methods of creating content—RSS 1.0 + modules is one technology. These slides show an example using JA-SIG’s uPortal RSS channel.
MIT’s Open CourseWare material is illustrated using a prototype uPortal OCW viewer channel (portlet).
Using the uPortal XLIFF viewer channel, translated documents using the XLIFF standard can be viewed showing either the original or the translation, or both languages—side-by-side.
