LTSC Explores the Need for Competency Standards
The IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (IEEE LTSC) has formed three new study groups to determine and define what new standards may be needed in the general domain of “competencies” as related to learning and learning technology.
The "Reusable Competency Definitions" draft passes first ballot
Draft D4 of P1484.20.1 received an 89% approval in an IEEE ballot that closed recently. The ballot generated a number of comments. A Comments Resolution Committee has started resolving those comments. Some of the comments identified technical issues that can be resolved by small technical changes in the draft. A recirculation ballot is planned for the updated draft that will result from the comment resolution process.
LTSC March 2006 Meeting
The IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee will be holding working group and committee meetings from 28 March through 31 March 2006 at the Katholieke Universiteit (KU), Leuven, Belgium.
First Meeting of Simulation Interface Standards Study Group
First meeting of SIM Study Group to be held in San Diego, California, February 2 - 3. Position papers requested by January 20.
Simulation Interface Standards First Meeting, 2 -3 Feb, 2006
The Simulation Interface Standards Study Group will hold its first meeting 2 - 3 February, 2006, in San Diego. A call for brief position papers (due 20 Juanuary) has been issued.
LTSC October 2005 Meeting *updated*
LTSC to meet in October at Learning 2005
PAR approved for Reusable Competency Definitions (WG20 - P1484.20.1)
The IEEE-SA Standards Board has approved the revised project approval request (PAR) for P1484.20.1 - Standard for Learning Technology - Standard for Reusable Competency Definitions. The previous PAR was withdrawn to allow revision of the scope and purpose, along with renumbering of the standard project to reflect that this is only one of several possible technical standards for competency data and services. ~~ Face to face meeting in Orlando, Florida on October 30, 2005
Collaborative effort to update and standardize Content Packaging
The IMS Global Learning Consortium, the Advanced Distributed Learning initiative and the IEEE LTSC will collaborate to update Content Packaging and adopt it as an IEEE standard.
RCD straw ballot comments resolved
29 June 2005 - The comments received for the Reusable Competency Definitions straw ballot on the first draft have been resolved. The updated draft and comments summary are available for download.
RCD working draft editorial pass done
May 1, 2005 - The first editorial pass on the first "real" working draft for the Reusable Competency Definition standard (P1484.20) is complete. The working group will meet to resolve the remaining technical issues raised in the straw ballot that approved the initial rough draft. Next step: Submit for official ballot.
September 2005 News from WG20 - Competencies
The PAR for Reusable Competency Definitions (RCD) has been withdrawn and resbumitted with a narrower scope and purpose to better reflect the working draft. ~~ Call for a "meeting of the minds" to help formulate a general framework from which requirements for technical competency-related standards can emerge. ~~ The working group is trying to set up a conference call schedule to finalize the RCD draft and study the definition of additional competency related technical standards.
IEEE P1484.20.1 title change approved
The title of the IEEE project P1484.20.1 has been changed to "Standard for Learning Technology - Data Model for Reusable Competency Definitions". This may help mimimize confusion over the scope and purpose of the draft standard.
