CETIS - Centre For Educational Technology Interoperability Standards http://www.cetis.ac.uk/
CETIS represents UK Higher and Further Education on international educational standards initiatives including: a) The IMS Global Learning Consortium, developing specifications for learning technology interoperability including metadata, content management, enterprise systems, learner information and profiling, accessibility, question and tests. IMS is based in the USA and includes many major IT companies, publishers, universities and government agencies; b) CEN/ISSS, a European standardisation body mandated to develop a work programme for learning technology standards development; and c) IEEE LTSC the learning technology committee of the international standards body. CETIS advises Universities and Colleges on the strategic, technical and pedagogic implications of educational technology standards. CETIS also provides strategic and technical input to JISC programmes such as X4L, and the e-learning framework programmes. This will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2006 Internet MiniGuide.
