Hi folks,
Some of you who have been following the development of the US Learning Registry project might be interested to know that it is going to be implemented by a major new Gates and Carnegie funded technology integration initiative for US schools called inBloom. There have been several reports about this initiative in the tech press this week, including Zdnet (http://www.zdnet.com/inbloom-launches-with-gatescarnegie-funds-to-unify-e-learning-services-7000010900/) and TechCruch (http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/05/with-100m-from-the-gates-foundation-others-inbloom-wants-to-transform-education-by-unleashing-its-data/). I've also written a blog post picking out some interesting details from the standards alignment whitepaper and developer documentation (http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/lmc/2013/02/08/inbloom-to-implement-learning-registry-and-lrmi/)
inBloom is also proposing to implement a profile of the Learning Registry paradata spec and the LRMI specification, which our very own Phil Barker co-authored :)
If any of you have had a play around with the Learning Registry (Pat, Nick, I'm looking at you :) I'd be interested to know what you think of inBloom's proposed implementation.
Cheers
Lorna
