The ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36 Working Group 6: Supportive Technology and Specification Integration is developing profile standards consisting of existing ISO, IEC and consortia standards, enabling the use of needed multiple domain standards that support e-learning environments.
This group is working in the ISO/IEC TR 24725 specification, which comprises the following projects:- ISO/IEC 24725-1 (Technical Report) Information Technology for Learning, Education and Training - ITLET – Supportive Technology and Specification Integration – Part 1: Framework
- ISO/IEC 24725-2 (Technical Report) Information Technology for Learning, Education and Training - ITLET – Supportive Technology and Specification Integration – Part 2: Rights Expression Language (REL) – Commercial Applications
- ISO/IEC 24725-3 Information Technology for Learning, Education and Training - ITLET – Supportive Technology and Specification Integration – Part 3: Platform and Media Taxonomy (PMT)
|
| The Part 3 (Platform and Media Taxonomy) of ISO/IEC TR 24725 provides standardized vocabulary, taxonomy of media and platform technologies, and a process that can be used to describe different combinations or bundles of media and platform technologies, which are needed to perform identified functions or to support a class of applications for learners within or across various information technology environments. It provides examples of how and when bundles of technologies can be defined to support learning, education and training activities. |

Information technologies are being employed throughout the world to support learning, education and training activities using various media (digital video, audio, etc.) and varying platform configurations. Instructors, trainers, mentors and learners can be located in different places around the world and can engage in activities synchronously or asynchronously. Teaching personnel, learners, administration and technical support staff can be separated by geographic distance and located in different time zones. With these considerations in mind, it is essential that a shared standardized vocabulary and associated taxonomy be developed to support the interoperability and sound functioning of underlying information technology (IT) structures, including media and platform applications.
The concept and structure of integrated supportive technologies and specifications that can be combined to sustain and enhance learning, education and training activities are specified in ISO/IEC TR 24725-1. The purpose of ISO/IEC TR 24725-3 is to recommend when and how certain IT media and platform applications can be combined and used. A bundle of different media and platform technologies defines subsets or combinations of technologies that support a specific function, and can be associated with a particular application, community, and/or environment. Different bundles can be created and utilized to meet the needs of specific communities (e.g. learning communities, educational institutions, and corporate training organizations).
Several technology bundles can be developed for different operating scenarios, such as “browser platform”, “workstation platform” and “media types”. These bundles are determined by first considering the function or purpose; then, the components required are identified from the taxonomy. The identification of the technologies can include consideration of compatibility issues and recommendations to ensure interoperability across diverse IT systems. It is expected that, over time, these profiles will be updated and amended as needed to remain relevant to updates and changes resulting from the development of new and emerging technologies.
This standard profile will identify existing standards and specifications of learning technology platforms and their content. It will not specify the technical details, but limitations and enhancements to these standards and specifications. |
