• Readium is an open source EPUB3 reader
initiative (grew from IDPF but now standalone
activity)
• Readium used as our EPUB3 reader codebase
(Hosted service and desktop versions)
• IMS has made a code fork for the EDUPUB work
– LTIv1.0 enabled (Consumer and Provider)
– Sensor API enabled

Recommendations
• Ensure eBook/EPUB3 readers are IMS LTIv1.1
compliant
• Ensure eBook/EPUB3 readers are IMS Caliper
compliant
• Ensure eBook/EPUB3 readers become IMS LTIv1.0
compliant
• Establish best practices for using these in EPUB3
publications

Release: 1.0
Status: Discussion Document
Summary: This document presents the best practice recommendations for using IMS
Learning Tools Interoperability™ (LTI™), IMS Caliper Analytics™ and
IMS Question & Test Interoperability™ (QTI™) based content within an
EPUB3 context. These form a key part of the EDUPUB standard.
Examples of these best practices are presented using the Readium open
source EPUB3 reader but are generally applicable to other EPUB3 readers
provided they follow the conformance requirements.
