Defining the common core
The IEEE LTSC CMI working group has published a public information document that outlines the goals of the project. In a series of use cases that have been gathered from a range of communities, the role RAMLET (Resource Aggregation Model for Learning, Education and Training) is designed to play in a broad learning content infrastructure is illustrated.
In a nutshell, RAMLET is intended to enable systems to operate across
multiple different electronic formats that bundle together resources. A
variety of such formats exist and are used in different communities for
specific purposes. Because the learning, education and training
community connects to all of these other communities, and deals with
their practices as its core business, it needs to make use of all these
aggregation formats. Hence RAMLET.The newly released document has a dual purpose. It not only seeks to explain the scope and intent of the work, but also seeks participation and feedback on it from anyone with a material interest.
The RAMLET project document is a 469 K pdf.
