At the Frankfurt Book Fair you are invited to attend a briefing hosted by Young Digital Planet on behalf of the ASPECT project, a Best Practice Network coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN) and supported by the European Commission’s eContentplus Programme. With partners from 15 countries, including 9 Ministries of Education (MoE), four commercial content developers and leading technology providers, ASPECT brings together experts from all international standardisation bodies and consortia active in e-learning in order to improve the adoption of learning technology standards and specifications.
Following a buffet lunch, at this short briefing you will hear:
- How ASPECT content partners such as Young Digital Planet are developing best practice approaches to implementing content standards such as SCORM and the new IMS Common Cartridge specification.
- How 40 teachers have responded to using resources that have been ‘packaged’ by ASPECT content developers using both SCORM and Common Cartridge standards.
- How publishers and content developers can benefit from ASPECT tools and support services that include: a Vocabulary Bank for Education; Application Profile registry; automatic translation service for LOM and content packaging formats; compliance testing; metadata transformer services; acces to standards’ experts.
- How you can participate in ASPECT workshops and plugfests.
