This session will include an introduction to new standards and specifications recently released by organisations including IMS Global Learning Consortium, the Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineers Learning Technology Standards Committee, Advanced Distributed Learning and the Comité Européen de Normalization/Information Society Standardisation System Workshop – Learning Technologies. The update session will take the form of an introductory presentation followed by a questions and answer session and discussions.
