Purpose of Certification

• Assure the end-user/purchaser that products will

interoperate

• Any certified Provider (Tool) should be able to

interoperate with any certified Consumer (LMS)

26

LTI + SCORM.com = Win!

• Customers win because they don't have to

connect the SCORM runtime directly to their

LMS

• SCORM.com wins because they can quickly

integrate (with outcomes) to all of the

certified LMS's


27


28

WikiSpaces.com and LTI

• Free public Wiki – 6 million accounts

• Business model – "Private Label Spaces"

• One "space" per school or district

• Each Space can have many "Wikis"

• One per class (approximately)

• Data and accounts are isolated

IDEA: LMS As Tool Provider..

• Imagine a teacher that

needs a feature from

another LMS.

• They could add a link from

their LMS to an LMS in the

cloud that they actually like


34

LMS as Tool Provider

• Sakai 2.8• Exports Tool Instances

• Trusted Mode: OAE Hybrid or Portal / CLE

• Moodle 2.x Module – Juan Levya • Exports Course or Tool

• Can use to merge students into instance

• Blackboard 9.1– Prototype Building Block

41

LTI 1.0 and IMS Common Cartridge 1.1

• Common Cartridge 1.1

includes the ability to

define a Basic LTI resource

and include that resource

in course organizational

structures

When LTI is combined with the IMS Common Cartridge 1.1, publishers can distribute cartridges containing active, authenticated links back to centrally hosted content.

Certified – CC

• Blackboard (1.0, 1.1, import and export)

• Desire2Learn (1.0, 1.1*)

• Jenzabar e-Racer (1.0, 1.1*)

• Atutor (1.0, 1.1*)

• Moodle 1.9 (1.0*) 2.0 (1.0*, 1.1*)

45

IMS LTI 2.0

• Transition to resource oriented models for

services with RDF/REST Bindings

• Tool registration – Great increase in convenience

and support for App Store use cases

• Richer grade exchange services

• Improved abstraction in representing tools in

cartridges


46

JSON-LD – www.json-ld.org

• RDF / Linked-Data meets Hacker-Friendly

JSON

• Depending on the application, you can look

at it as a collection of linked triples or just a

clean serialization of a REST-Style resource

A Crazy Idea called "Tsugi"

• Learning Tool Building Kit

in PHP – Moodle-like

• An empty LMS with

support code and services

• IMS Standards in library

code

Some Tsugi Tool Ideas...

• Seating Chart

• Drop Box

• To-Do List

• Comments

• Attendance taker

• Certificates / Badges

• Booking

appointment/office

hour slots

• Doodle Integration

• Progress Markers

• Mini-assessments

• ....
