• Why are standards needed?– Competing priorities– Constrained public funding – Immature industry solutions driven by vendors
• Need: Shift to partnership models
• IMS Global– LTI, Common Cartridge and thin Common Cartridge– QTI– OneRoster
• Platforms – expanding options– Non-profit, vendor agnostic platforms vs proprietary platforms– LORs, content curation
