In general, the purpose of developing system architectures is to discover high-level frameworks for understanding certain kinds of systems, their subsystems, and their interactions with related systems, i.e., more than one architecture is possible.
An architecture isn't a blue print for designing a single system, but a framework for designing a range of systems over time, and for the analysis and comparison of these systems, i.e., an architecture is used for analysis and communication.
By revealing the shared components of different systems at the right level of generality, an architecture promotes the design and implementation of components and subsystems that are reusable, cost-effective and adaptable, i.e., critical interoperability interfaces and services are identified.
The architectural framework developed in this standard should not address the specific details of implementation technologies (e.g., programming languages, authoring tools, or operating systems) necessary to create the system components, or the management systems (e.g., learning material lifecycle, quality assurance, access control, or user administration) necessary to manage a learning technology system, i.e., the standard should facilitate the development of configuration guidelines for general learning technology systems.
The standard shall identify the objectives of human activities and computer processes and their involved categories of knowledge, i.e., it is possible to identify protocols and methods of cooperation and collaboration.

The Standard specifies a high level architecture for information technology-supported learning, education, and training systems that describes the high-level system design and the components of these systems.
The Standard covers a wide range of systems, commonly known as learning technology, education and training technology, computer-based training, computer assisted instruction, intelligent tutoring, metadata, etc.
The Standard is pedagogically neutral, content-neutral, culturally neutral, and platform-neutral.
The features of the Standard can be summarized into the next points:- It provides a framework for understanding existing and future systems
- It promotes interoperability and portability by identifying critical system interfaces
- It incorporates a technical horizon (applicability) of at least 5-10 years while remaining adaptable to new technologies and learning technology systems. This Standard is neither prescriptive nor exclusive
The Standard is neither prescriptive nor exclusive. |

Tracking of Changes
Draft 9 incorporates all resolvable comments received up through 30 November 2001.
The main changes in draft 9 area: - Incorporating the remaining batch of comments from Dan Rehak
- A global change to diagrams, based on Dan's suggestions
- Removing subclause 11.7 in informative Annex C (illustrations) because it contained out-of-date information
The Disposition of Comments Summary includes:- Comments received during the balloting period for Draft 6
- Comments received in an extended period and during the 2000-12 1484.1 WG meeting in Athens
- Comments received after the extended deadline
- Comments on Draft 7 and Draft 8. currently, there are no resolvable comments left to incorporate

Previous Versions
First public draft document about this standard was issued by the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC) in December 1996. Since then, eigth draft versions were issued by the LTSC.
