During the course of the day there was some reference to a new specification brought out by IMS called Learning Design.
Related to the discussions about Learning Design were requirements for ‘tools’ and some
mentioned ‘LAMS’
(Learning Activity Management System) and COLIS (Collaborative Online Learning & Information
Services) - this is not a ‘tool’ but the acronym came up and Feedback gathered from the
evaluation forms asked for more information about both these; future events and briefing documents
will hopefully provide this, but in the meantime you may this information helpful –
its extracted from minutes of the CETIS Educational Content (EC) Special Interest Group.

The launch event was supported by the LTSN Generic Centre,
which supports e-learning as a major strand of its work. Fundamental to this is understanding
and supporting pedagogical developments in e-learning in all its forms. The LTSN Generic centre
supports CETIS in proposing that interoperability will be one of the key issues in developing
e-learning and therefore the LTSN Generic Centre wishes to work with CETIS to examine the pedagogic
implications of interoperability, and how that will impact on learning and teaching in the UK.
Support also came from ALT, an educational organisation
which seeks to bring together all those with an interest in the use of learning technology in higher
and further education. Key to this is supporting ALT members in promoting good practices in the use
of learning technology, and facilitating dialogue between practitioners and policy makers.
The development of learning technology standards to support interoperability is a growing issue
for our members, and as such ALT is pleased to work with CETIS in furthering the understanding
of the pedagogical implications and ensuring ALT members concerns are raised and incorporated
into future developments.
