Overview

Tracking Next Gen Learning

Student X takes a self-paced course on

Orienteering.

Student X participates in a classroom exercise

where the instructor uses an Android applicationto save comments about the learners

understanding of the self-paced course.

Student X leaves the classroom and participates

in orienteering exercise in the field. They are

tracked by their mobile devices GPS.

All results are tracked and become a part of

Student Xs profile.7


8/26

Where does SCORM fall short?

Only tracks single learners, only trackswithin a course

Sequencing took too much time to

implement No best practices were recommended, just

the spec and later, some examples

Needed more APIs for exposing data no

sense of instructor role

The technology it was built upon is nolonger the norm

10/26

What can we do differently?

Track diverse user learning experiences

Move beyond the single-learner model

Eliminate out-of-date technology practices

Improve or eliminate the contentsequencing

Include tools, guides, and best practices

Provide clearer instructions and moreefficient testing

Provide a means to expose user data

This (Activity)

Activities can be anything text, video,audio, games, social interactions, etc.

Real or Virtual

Associate with Competencies Use authority to determine completion

Activities paired specifically with verbs?

Should the verb model be constricted orexpansive?

13


14/26

Who Tracks This?

Learning Record Store (LRS) vs.Learning Management System (LMS)

LRS concept derived from community

No sequencing

14


15/26

Tin Can API Enables This:

Enterprise architecture

Wide range of devices andapplications

Adaptability to role (learner,instructor, designer, etc.)

15


16/26

Activity Streams Do This:

Supported in media and industry

Adaptive content

Working group surrounding specalready in place (Open WebFoundation)

Open Graph Incorporation of new web standards

16


17/26

ADL Did This:

Translated Requirements

Researched Verbs and ActivityStreams

Created Prototypes

Informed Community

17


18/26

Rustici Did This:

Added to their version of thespecification after conclusion of BAA

Expanded Agents, Authentication,and other support areas

18
