CREATE NEW WORLD ORDER
GET CONTENT TO WORK
GET SYSTEMS TO INETEROPERATE
The Wider World
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 8Eduworks Corporation
Conversational Convergence
Universal All sectors (Private, Education, Government, etc.) All geographic regions All technologies (E-learning, Content Management,
Knowledge Management, Human Performance Improvement)
Conversations Get down to business Local needs and global desires Content is content A need for tools On the standards front – a need for clarity
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 9Eduworks Corporation
Challenges to Overcome
Different Cultures and Languages From country to country From sector to sector
Different Business Models From country to country From sector to sector
Economic Barriers Even time zones are
tough!
Lack of Experience With the Internet With the technology
Problems of Scale Wal-Mart: 1.2 Million BECTA (VET in U.K.): 6
Million But it has to work for a
schoolroom or small company, too . . .

Email from 22 July, 2003
“We are making small but steady steps. We are acquiring new customers at a good rate/month and have *almost* completed a robust product.
We have decided to put SCORM support on the sideline for the time being (given the very low demand we encounter in the med/small company market and the speed with which the specs evolve). We are focused only on our web-based, hosted e-learning software.”

Service Architectures and Frameworks: What’s Hot
Communities are driving them SchoolNet, SIF, Education.au, EduSource …
Vendors are supporting them Standards groups producing them
IMS, OKI, SCORM 2.0, etc.
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 19Eduworks Corporation
And What’s Not
Stability is needed Installed bases make it hard to change
architectures Re-usable Design is not Interoperability
Comes from local thinking Leads to too many frameworks
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 20Eduworks Corporation
File-based Database-Based Repository-Based
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 21Eduworks Corporation
ARIADNE Now a European foundation, focused on content, metadata & tools
EDUSOURCE Enabling collaborative generation of learning objects
EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET Instructions for adding local repositories; cross-cultural
National Science Digital Library (U.S.) Over 60 collections, tens of thousands of records, hundreds of thousands in user
communities MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching)
Providing peer review, a value-added service VIMS (Virtual Image Management System – U.S. Military)
SCORM conformant, Accessible (Section 508), DRM enabled Rich Media Repository D-SPACE and other projects
Open source out-of-the-box solution EdNA, The Le@rning Federation
Hot: Growing Number of Projects
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 22Eduworks Corporation
Hot: A Growing Number of Products
New releases of Enterprise LMS / LCMS New entrants into the VLE (Course
Management System) space Pure Learning Object Repository products Content Management Systems
With learning components / standards Plus … help from the Library Community
Centuries of experience Stable standards Installed user base
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 23Eduworks Corporation
Not:
“Learning Object Repository” A conglomeration of undefined terms is an
excellent tool for hype Business models? Searches still find too little that’s good …
or worse … too much.

Big Issue (Hot and Not): Digital Rights Management and Intellectual Property Rights Intellectual Property
Rights and Laws can no longer conveniently be ignored
DRM is needed for Content development
workflows Federating repositories Sharing knowledge
based on trust: “I didn’t want to email it because it’s still draft and in confidence.”
DRM Often confused with
enforcement (e.g. RIAA) Guided by multimedia and
communications industries Subject to patents
Intellectual Property Rights and Laws Differ around the globe Often don’t make sense
3-Sep-03What's Hot and What's Not Page 33Eduworks Corporation
A Fundamental Shift in DRM
Client / Server Model Content delivered and
consumed Copyright restrictions &
licenses enforced at point of consumption
Authorization based on role Possession is 9/10 of the
law – have content, can distribute!
Distributed Network Model Content flows through
network Content can change during
its lifecycle Conditions, permission,
constraints etc. relevant at each stop in lifecycle
Distribution rights as important as usage rights
Rights governed by contract, not possession
Need to handle attribution, creative commons, etc.
DRM = Routing of Intellectual Property

Closing Thoughts
Focus is essential Awareness is necessary Experimentation is key Interoperability is fundamental It all starts with people
