  1. SWaNI Project Content Interoperability Project Overview

  2. Partners Colleges • Coleg Sir Gâr • Swansea College • Pembrokeshire College • Neath Port Talbot College • Gorseinon College Vendors • Intrallect (Digital Repository) • Granada Learnwise • FD Learning • Teknical • Digitalbrain

  3. Aims & Objectives • The overall aim of the project was to evaluate the interoperability between locally developed I.M.S. compliant e-learning content and a range of different V.L.E. products used by the development consortium.  The specific objectives were to:  • Demonstrate the ability to move web-based content from one learning environment to another; • Demonstrate the re-use of learning object across different platforms and learning environments; • Provide searchable learning content for storage and retrieval using an I.M.S. compliant digital repository; • Evaluate the current level of interoperability between five different V.L.E. systems and the student record systems of the participating F.E. Colleges; • Work with a V.L.E. and repository vendors to identify and  action opportunities to improve interoperability at a local level; • Report widely to the F.E. sector on outcomes through the project reporting schedule, conferences and seminar presentations.

  4. Systems & Specifications Systems • Teknical Virtual-Campus (Remote) – Version 4 • Teknical Virtual-Campus - NPTC – Version 4 • FD Learning – Version 2.2 • Granada Learnwise – Version 2 • Digital Brain (Remote Site) – Version 7.20 • Intrallect – Imports to I.M.S. 1.2 and 1.1.2 - exports to 1.3 and 1.1.3 I.M.S. Specifications • Metadata 1.2 • Content Packaging v1.1.2

  8. The Future • The plan over the next 12 months is to address the issues of interoperability and accessibility with materials created in the early stages of the E-learning Consortium, at Levels III and above, in science and technology. There will also be a focus on bilingualism, and, rigorous testing of the standards to assess their capabilities in respect of bilingual use.

  9. Summary & Conclusions • Content Interoperability will work, providing the standards used are the same for the content, the V.L.E. and the digital repository. There remains however, concern over re-usability and the pedagogical implications over breaking the materials down into small enough segments to enable maximum re-use. • The long term vision for the content standards is interesting and has major implications for how both blended and e-learning are developed and delivered. With the introduction and incorporation of additional specifications such as Accessibility, Simple Sequencing and Learning Design, there is concern that, in the short to medium term, they will start to take precedence over the content, potentially having a detrimental effect on the core business of institutions, i.e. teaching and learning.

  10. Recommendations • Continued research and development into the application of content interoperability standards, content packaging and re-use involving all key software products and vendors • Greater vendor input into the design and development of the standards as ultimately they are responsible for providing the vehicles for learning materials delivery • Further dissemination of IMS and SCORM standards and the work of CETIS and JISC to those institutions not currently involved in interoperability and e-learning. This will also allow them to assist in informing the processes and standards that ultimately they will need to work with and adhere to • There should be research into the pedagogical implications of collaborating in the development of learning objects, their storage using a central digital repository, and the ability to construct pedagogically consistent programmes of e-learning from those learning objects • That JISC and CETIS seek a greater input from the F.E. Sector to events and seminars outside the SwaNI project relating to e-learning and interoperability specifications & standards. There was a notable absence at events attended by members of the project team.
