Hi Sarah,
>If not... Start your own consortium, set up your own standards.. any community or interest group using the Learning Registry for their own needs was always going to have to do what you describe Pat. Well, in terms of metadata and paradata anyway, can't speak for the API.
Yes, it's interesting to see that inBloom have adopted exactly this approach.
>To me, this was the whole issue about the Learning Registry: simplifying the usual problems in one place just pushes them elsewhere for someone else to solve. But maybe the Learning Registry pushed them to the correct place. Don't know.
That's an interesting thought. There's certainly no getting away from the fact that the data processing has to be done somewhere!
Incidentally, you probably won't have seen IMS response to the inBloom announcement, they tweeted the following to me and Wilbert last week: "Stay tuned for a new #imsglobal app & policy note detailing how #lrmi & #learningreg fall short of school needs".
Watch this space ;)
Cheers
Lorna
