Leading Integration of Enterprise Learning and Administrative Systems: The Next Generation

A Forum Facilitated by the IMS Global Learning Consortium
Tuesday, October 28, 1:30 – 3:30 PM
Rosen Centre Hotel
Orlando, FL

Sponsored by Oracle Corporation

Join us for an interactive workshop for Chief Information Officers and product/service suppliers to exchange views on the major challenges and best solutions in getting the most from the information exchange between administrative and learning systems.
What are the major roadblocks preventing higher education institutions from getting the most out of their enterprise systems? Learning systems and administrative systems must be capable of real-time, seamless data exchange. Members of the nonprofit IMS Global Learning Consortium, including Oracle, Informs, and Desire2Learn have been developing a new open standard called Learning Information Services (LIS) to meet these demands.

This 90-minute interactive forum will provide information on LIS and why it is better than current approaches. But, more importantly, this forum will provide an open exchange of views among end-users and leading suppliers on the key challenges today and going forward in enterprise integration of learning and administrative systems. Rob Abel, CEO of the IMS Global Learning Consortium, will facilitate the forum. A panel of experts from the participating organizations shown below will provide their views.

Institutional attendee organizations will receive a free one-year membership in a new Learning Information Services Alliance for to be launched subsequent to the meeting (this is valued between $500-$1500).  Outcomes from the session will be captured for use by the LIS Alliance. Membership in the LIS Alliance will allow you and your institution to interact with peers focused on enhancing the use of data exchange between student and learning systems, including implementation of the new LIS standards.

And, refreshments will be provided!!!

The forum is scheduled so as not to interfere with attendance at Educause, which begins officially at 4 PM on the same day.

Participating organizations:
Join leading architects from Oracle, SunGard, Desire2Learn, Blackboard, Informs, and Georgetown.

Location:

Rosen Centre Hotel, Orlando, FL
(next to the convention center, site of Educause 2009)
