IMS Global Update for CCLE’s ETLG

December 9th, 2013Given by: Rose Rocchio

IMS Global UpdateOverall Health of org is strong220 Total conformance certifications

(80 this year)IMS Board priorities: Analytics, Apps for

LearningOverall issue – standards are too complex,

difficult for ultimate users to implement…

Common Cartridge UpdateCommon Cartridge v 1.3 – released in July – working on 1.4

Extensions now work Assignment extension Can include APIP and EPUB… Can add grading information into the cartridge Want to add deep link – to resources Some amount of linkage to LTI *** open to requirements for scope of 1.4 ***

Priorities for February EDUPUB – thinking that QTI will be part of EDUPUB How will we embed an LTI 2 link into the Common

Cartridge… - need to make the links work well

Learning Tools Interoperability LTI

LTI 1.2 New Test Suite

Can certify for any version of LTI – changes on are on the consumer side 1.2 – could possibly do some provider injection of settings in the consumer Outcomes – passing through – line item outcomes

LTI v2.0 Working on the certification tests Lots of ideas for services Rubrics LTI ExtensionsPriorities for FEB - * Talking about*

Message types – dashboard Context – of user Using to permit an injection of content… Tool provider – allows injection of a link… - can be customized… Configuration type…

Learning Analytics Interoperability Framework

Demo implementation is called CALIPERIMS Caliper Framework and Sensor API is designed to

consistently represent, capture, and marshal measurement related data, support the instrumentation, collection and exchange of data from Learning Tools/Systems and associated Learning Content elements.  

This capability will enable institutions, instructors, learning designers, faculty and students easier access to learner analytics to better engage, measure, and revise learning experiences, and to drive a more efficient and effective teaching and learning environment. 

A repository to put disparate system analytics into – pretty interesting

IMS Caliper Framework ( Movable analytics…)

SENSOR input – gets DATA – for analyticsLCIS – Learning and Content Interoperability

ServicesFor point to point…Caliper PoC DemoDoes not yet model Peer Review

An APIPushes out analytics from a variety of tools into a

view that will show that collected in a course – so that a professor – can see a collected view of their students activity in all the tools… ePub – tools etc…

IMS Caliper

Learning Information ServicesBiggest push to get LIS 2 – over last 2 years – all big vendors are

conformant LIS – just finalized the outcomes standard Outcomes v1.0 & LIS v2.01 Priorities for February: focused on FERPA – privacy

 What IMS really means by outcomes – is final grade profile

Course Planning & Scheduling - CPS is a taskforce group (has rooms , # people, etc…)

CPS final Priorities for February *** No integration between SIS and CPS… Ice and edupub – task force to work on 12 Federated Search – goal

is to make finding K12 resources – easier – oahpmh – or LTI – or? Casa?...

The CASA Initiative Nov. Kick-off

IMS Global and UCLA are collaborating on a new “App Sharing” initiative called CASA

At the November IMS Global Quarterly meeting, IMS Global in collaboration with UCLA have established a new Stakeholders group that is working to establish a new Initiative called CASA – The Community App Sharing Architecture Protocol & Standard Specification

The Question: How do we intelligently share web apps across the system & beyond?

The Issues: Search engines don’t know if a URL is mobile ready There is no easy way to know what sites are LTI

( Learning Tool Interoperability) compatible There is no “catalog” of website functionality There is no universal “rating” system for websites

The ANSWER: the Community App Sharing Architecture (CASA) CASA provides a modular approach for publishing,

receiving and sharing web applications with metadata about features and functions

It includes mechanisms for filtering and transforming this data during the publishing and sharing processes.

It enables the construction of affinity-focused environments that may connect with peers to which it may share apps and publishers from which it may receive apps.
