8. Standards and interoperability “It seems striking that many of the most successful repository initiatives – measured in terms of active users – have not heavily engaged with educational technology standards. Community based approaches would by nature tend to focus on solving user needs with already available tools – i.e. a focus on iterative “good enough” approaches instead of relying on implementation of specific standards.”

9. Standards and interoperability - topics discussed Metadata standards LOM profiles Automatic metadata generation Strategies for vocabularies and curriculum mapping Standardized content packages Repository integration with Learning Management Systems Authentication / Identity management
