A-12: Service-Oriented Approaches, Web Services, and the Integrated Learning Architecture
Detailed Description:Explore the possibilities of next-generation data exchange between learning management systems, assessment systems, and learner information systems. A number of open specifications have been available to support these systems (e.g. IMS Enterprise Services, IMS Question & Test Interoperability, and IMS Tools Interoperability Guidelines.) However, we have not yet addressed the issue of choreography between these specifications or real-time interaction independent of the data model being exchanged. This session explores the role that Web Services can play in the integration of all of these systems.
Presentation Format:Showcase
Topic:Integrating the campus: Technical solutions and extended uses
Target Audience:System Administrators
Appropriate Audience Level:Beginning or new users of WebCT, Experienced WebCT users
