Gain a Better Understanding of Student Learning for Use by Students, Instructors, Parents, Administrators, and Employers
Several IMS GLC technical and developing adoption standards support students, instructors, parents, administrators, and employers (educational stakeholders) in assessing a student's academic achievements (against stated learning objectives) and initiating remedial learning activities, if needed.
IMS GLC technical standards in this area support interactions and data exchange between learning systems and administrative, student, or human resource systems, including exchange of learner profiles, competencies/learning objectives and learning outcomes.
-
Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) provides educators and learners insight via formative and summative assessment by providing standards for constructing, processing and exchanging online assessment information, test items, tests, and the reporting of test results.
- ePortfolio (eP) captures evidence of learning, education, training, and life experiences, resulting in a more effective matching (than traditional resumes) of applicants to the offerings of potential employers and admissions offices and enables interoperability among systems that process competency information.
- Learning Information Services (LIS) defines data exchange between learning systems and administrative, student, or human resource systems, enabling the compilation and analysis of multiple student learning data points
-
Student Induction to eLearning (SIEL) is developing a methodology for introducing students to the eLearning environment, with emphasis on addressing the key issues that interfere with postsecondary student learning, attrition and persistence
- Targeted Retention Systems (TRS) is developing a methodology consisting of processes and technologies that identify individual students at-risk of persisting to stated academic objectives and manage targeted interventions specific to the individual student’s need.
