As IMS notes: "The development of a framework that supports pedagogical diversity and innovation, while promoting the exchange and interoperability of e-learning materials, is one of the key challenges in the e-learning industry today". http://www.imsglobal.org/learningdesign/ldv1p0pd/imsld_bestv1p0pd.html

Copyright © 2001 Bolton Institute Copyright © 2001 Bolton Institute Centre for Educational Technology Interoperability Standards Why do we need a Pedagogy Forum?  e-learning specifications are moving up from the infrastructural level and beginning to directly impact on pedagogical issues  important that the e-learning standards meet educational needs as well as fulfilling technical requirements  we need to generate a meaningful dialogue with those whose focus is on pedagogy.
