Open Source the Soon-to-be-kicked off 9274.3.1
Authorization to create a new Official IEEE Open Source Project
-
Title of the Project: Standard for Packaging, Launch, and Run-time of Experience Application Programming Interface (xAPI) in Session-based Learning
-
Description of the Project: A standard is needed to define a data model format and communication protocol for learning experience data allowing vendors to build interoperable solutions and to take advantage of many products that support the xAPI. Learning Management Systems (LMSs) as they currently exist in the marketplace do not have semantic data interoperability through xAPI alone, nor are there standards for content delivery or structure. The result is that LMSs push content development requirements in a non-standard way towards content developers, such that developers create content that does not work in an LMS. Thus, there is a need of a standard is to provide an interoperable means to store and retrieve learning experience data as required by modern, data-intensive learning technologies and in the current paradigm of an authenticated learner registering for learning content within a learning management system and experiencing that content with their progress being tracked.
