Standards and interoperability- a Norwegian perpective
Project Coordinator Tore Hoel,the Norwegian eStandard project www.estandard.no
The first learning technology standard was developed by
”electrical engineers”
IEEE LOM (Learning object metadata) standard, June 2002,Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc
e-learning standards does not carry any learning theory? Standardization of e-learning technology
is a complex negotiation of meaning and interests within large actor-networks…
Inscription, translations and delegations We are modelling specific worlds – not
any worlds Tools come with embedded ideology –
e.g. Powerpoint vs. Mindmaps
Be aware of easy ways out of the alphabet soup

We do not have anyde facto standard!
Stakeholders in standardization
Governmental authorities Educational communities Vendors Publishing houses Content developers Individuals
All have different agendas and strategies for learning and teaching

TeachersUniversitiesSchoolsLearners
Contentproviders
We need a bodies that are neutral, respected by everyone, and able to facilitate the negotiations between the stakeholders
The eStandard project of Norway
Funded by the Ministry of Education as part of the Programme for Digital Competence (2004 – 2008)
Raise awareness - not do research Convey international best practice Give advice to Norwegian projects Participate in international
standardization bodies (ISO & CEN) coordinated by Standard.no

The importance of a driving force
Somebody has to put the questions!
The need for a pedagogical framework for e-learning to build a technical framework
Learning is a Social Phenomenon: Negotiation of meaning through dialogue, collaboration collaboration, and reflection
Learning is more than consuming content
IMS Learning Design – do we care – or are we content with SCORM’s tracking and simple sequencing the single, self paced learner?
Architecture for learning
We are locked into content centric platforms - how to break out?
Identity management (the au-au) Federated identity for education (FEIDE)
Today gigantic components - tomorrow a webservice architecture?

Learning resources - navigation and distributions
LOM profiles Secondary metadata
Topic Maps Digitalization of the curriculum - a topic to
be explored Distribution of learning resources:
How to achieve interoperability between repositories?
Digital Rights Management - where to start?
As they stand, DRM solutions designed to protect commercial interests are unsuitable for the education sector. (JORUM Scoping and Technical Appraisal Study, UK)
User Licences to communicate betterabout digital rights!
Items for cooperation

ePortfolios Designing for social constructivist
learning theories How to capitalize on the highest
penetration of LMS systems in the world?
