Promoting interoperability and standards

The adoption and further development of standards for learning content and systems, and standards compliance and conformance testing of new developments are essential for accelerating market take-up of innovative technologies. Two early FP6 projects have advanced the state of the art in these domains.

Projects

TELCERT - Technology Enhanced Learning Certification - European Requirements & Testing

Standards compliance and conformance testing are essential for accelerating market take-up of innovative technologies. The TELCERT project has developed software tools and other resources to help authors, suppliers and standards organisations improve the interoperability of e-learning systems and materials.

UNFOLD - Understanding Networks of Learning Design

This co-ordination action aimed at accelerating the adoption and further development of standards for e-learning systems in Europe, namely the IMS Learning Design specification. The project set up communities of practice, and held seminars and conferences to raise awareness and to spur interaction between members of the education and technology communities concerned.
