Reason 5: component architectures

• XML is a good language for building reusable and transportable learning objects

• supports many different formats (directly or indirectly)

• Major vendors and standard bodies are sketching out architectures

  • CISCO (Reusable Learning Units)
  • IBM (Learning Space XXX)
  • Microsoft (eLearn)
  • ....hopefully compatile (at least integretable)
