Mobler Cards – Micro Learning
• Direct Connec5on with an LMS • Devices Synchroniza5on • Mul5-‐LMSes Support • Offline Func5onality
Interoperability…
• a measure for the degree to which diverse systems, organiza5ons, and or individuals are able to work together to achieve a common goal.

How to improve interoperability between live tools, services and systems?
The ADL Ini5a5ve recently spearheads two interoperability ini5a5ves: • The Experience API (xAPI) • Training and Learning Architecture (TLA)
Experience API (xAPI) • A new interoperability specifica5on for recording and exchanging learner experiences among live tools and services
• Main Components:
– Ac5vity Streams
– Learning Record Stores
• storage for ac5vity statements and streams
• Support exis5ng SCORM use cases
Training and Learning Architecture (TLA)
(ADL Ini5a5ve, 2013)
• It is a dra_ specifica5on • Next genera5on of SCORM • Its components are linked with
specifica5ons based on 4 key concepts

IMS Ques5on & Test Interoperability Specifica5on (QTI)
• Enables the exchange of item, test and results data between authoring tools, item banks, test construc5onal tools, learning systems and assessment delivery systems.

Conclusions & Next Steps
• Standardiza5on and tracking of learner’s ac5vi5es – enables the exchange of this informa5on between the app and other learning environments – provides useful educa5onal insights for tutors – provides meaningful informa5on for the learners’ profile
• Device agnos5c UI of the applica5on makes it interoperable with several mobile plaeorms • A more flexible approach for the integra5on of the LMSes with PowerTLA (beta)
