General Information
The IMS Content Packaging Information Model that is source and base specification for this standard describes data structures that can be used to exchange data between systems that wish to import, export, aggregate, and disaggregate packages of LET content.
The IMS Content Packaging specification was initially conceived for the packaging of instructional content. The specification supports the description of content associated with a given learning activity, location of the content, and how these pieces of content may be organized for best instructional effect. As a result of wide adoption of the specification, millions of IMS content packages of instructional content are used in a variety of software applications. IMS Content Packaging is a core specification referenced in the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative’s Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). Adopters of IMS Content Packaging have extended its use beyond just the packaging of instructional content. IMS Content Packaging is now referenced by other IMS Specifications to package and exchange other types of data.
Requests for major functional additions were not included in the IMS Content Packaging version 1.1.x series and were accumulated as practice matured around implementing IMS Content Packaging. Evaluation of these requests in 2006, combined with feedback from the wider adopter community, indicated to IMS that this is the right time to make a significant update and definitive release for this specification with ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36.
