The Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) began as an initiative chiefly championed initially by Microsoft to create "a blueprint for educational software interoperability and data access." It was designed to be an initiative drawing upon the strengths of the leading vendors in the K-12 market to enable schools' IT professionals to build ...
It was formerly known as the Schools Interoperability Framework Association, or SIFA. The name was changed in May 2015. [3] [4] A4L members collaborate on a variety of technical standards sometimes collectively known as the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF). A4L publishes these standards, advocates their adoption, and provides training ...
In January 2000, the ADL released the first edition of the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM), a technical framework designed to facilitate interoperability of computer-based education and training materials. [2]
Becta established a Schools Interoperability Framework (based on the model used in the United States) which education products could easily comply with and interoperate. The director of SIMS, however, claimed that the implementation of these standard interfaces would incur a significant cost to their software.
In August 2012, Learning Tools Interoperability version 1.1 introduced a feature allowing external tools to send grade results back to the originating learning system. [4] In January 2014, Learning Tools Interoperability version 2.0 was launched, introducing REST-based two-way communication between external tools and the learning platform. [5]
Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection of standards and specifications for web-based electronic educational technology (also called e-learning). It defines communications between client side content and a host system (called "the run-time environment"), which is commonly supported by a learning management system.
An e-GIF, or eGovernment Interoperability Framework, is a scheme for ensuring the inter-operation of computer-based systems. It is intended to resolve and prevent (or at least minimise) problems arising from incompatible content of different computer systems.
Standards-developing organizations provide open public software specifications to facilitate interoperability; examples include the Oasis-Open organization and buildingSMART (formerly the International Alliance for Interoperability). Another example of a neutral party is the RFC documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
