I gave this talk about IMS Basic Tools Interoperability at UMassOnline. It was the first time I could give the talk with 100% working video and audio. So it was the debut of of the Mandy Web 2.0 account pain video.
This is my 2012-02-20 talk about LTI at Nottingham. It focused less on the technical aspects of LTI and more on the applications and uses of LTI. It featured a new video from WikiSpaces.
LTI Update at the IMS QUarterly Meeting, Utrecht, NLCharles Severance
The document discusses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), which is a standard way for external applications to integrate with online learning systems. It proposes a "Basic LTI" subset that allows tools and content providers to build simple integrations with any learning management system (LMS) that supports the standard. This Basic LTI can then be expanded over time with features like outcome reporting and connections to learning record services. Sample code and certification processes are being developed to help support adoption.
The document discusses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), a standard developed by IMS Global for integrating online learning applications and sharing user data between systems. It proposes LTI as a solution to the problem of different learning management systems having unique and incompatible ways of integrating external tools. The standard defines a common way for tools to launch and communicate within any LMS, addressing issues of development time and costs.
The document discusses IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), an educational standard that allows external applications to be securely integrated into online learning systems. It provides an overview of LTI versions including 1.0, 1.1, and the upcoming 2.0, outlining their key features around basic tool launching, grade return, and improved tool registration respectively. It also mentions the adoption of LTI and IMS Common Cartridge standards by various learning management systems and tool vendors.
Learning Tools Interoperability - Why the big deal? - Stephen Vickers | Talis...Talis
LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is a standard that allows learning applications and content to securely connect to virtual learning environments through a simple authentication process. It provides benefits like seamless integration between different systems, flexibility and choice for instructors, and improved user experiences and educational insights. Newer versions of LTI expand its capabilities by adding services for tool configuration, student outcomes, and memberships. LTI helps create interoperability between different education technologies.
The document discusses recent implementations of IMS Global Basic Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards in the Jenzabar learning management system (LMS). It describes the benefits of LTI for integrating third-party tools and content into various LMSs using a common standard. It then provides examples of LTI implementations between the Jenzabar LMS and external tools like LectureTools and LearningObjects.
The document discusses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), which allows external tools and content to integrate with different learning management systems (LMS) using a common protocol. It describes the problem LTI aims to solve, provides an overview of the LTI specifications and terminology, and gives examples of how LTI works and is implemented in OpenDSA-LTI. The presentation also outlines the current status and future plans for OpenDSA-LTI.
The document discusses advanced issues in building external LTI tools, including solving multi-tenancy, handling basic LTI launches and contexts, authorization patterns, and using the resource_link_id configuration to associate specific resources or content within an external tool to placements of that tool in a course. It provides code samples and explanations of how to implement these advanced LTI features in an external tool integrated with learning management systems.

This document discusses open data standards for education and training. It provides examples of open standards like Dublin Core and HTML, and examples of standards that are not fully open, requiring payment or limiting reuse. The document then focuses on the Leap2A project, which developed an open e-portfolio standard based on Atom. It recommends using an open license, involving developers, reusing existing work, having good governance, publicity, and modest ongoing support to help standards like Leap2A be adopted and advance towards formal standardization.
Slides accompanying a presentation delivered at the VII Congresso Nacional de Arquivologia in Fortaleza, Brazil, on October 19th, 2016. The slides provide an overview of the AtoM project's history, its maintenance by Artefactual, and its development philosophy, before proceeding to examine the application as a component used in a digital preservation ecosystem. Aspects of ISO 16363:2012, the Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories standard, are used to evaluate how AtoM can support description, management, administration, and access functions when used to maintain a chain of custody in a trustworthy digital repository ecosystem.
This document discusses OpenMeetings, an open source web conferencing software, and its integration with Moodle. OpenMeetings allows for audio/video calls, screen sharing, whiteboarding, and file sharing. It can be used for virtual classrooms, webinars, and remote collaboration. The presentation demonstrates how to install OpenMeetings, its features, and how it integrates as a plugin within Moodle courses to add virtual conference rooms. Future plans are discussed, including improved moderation for large webinars. Costs for basic installation, integration, customization services are provided.
E-portfolios have potential for employment but are not widely used by employers currently. The InLOC specification could help by allowing employment frameworks and standards to be imported into systems in a standardized, machine-readable format. This would allow employers to search for candidates based on skills and qualifications, and easily view evidence in candidates' e-portfolios. For this vision to be realized, frameworks need to be published in InLOC format and tools built to process InLOC data, while also gaining employer buy-in for the shared frameworks.
Talk giving to the ed tech group of the Council of Pacific and Prairie University Libraries, May 2006, on the feasability of using DSpace to distribute learning resources.
The document summarizes the history and architecture of Sakai releases. Key points include:
- Sakai 1.0 and 1.5 used an older "monolithic" framework that was improved over time but became difficult to maintain.
- Sakai 2.0 introduced a new Framework II with a re-factored, more modular architecture using Spring and components for improved isolation, flexibility and maintenance.
- Sakai 2.0 focused on integrating new tools like Gradebook and improving existing tools while transitioning to the new framework. More changes are still planned to further improve the architecture.
Research Topic: Creating a Market for Innovation in Teaching and LearningCharles Severance
This is a short talk I gave to describe my research areas for the University of Michigan School of Information visiting days for prospective students. I talked about my interested in software for teaching and learning and standard for that software as well as approaches to teaching first technoloyg courses
This is a summary of my Sakai 2.9 portal plans. I will be doing this work in the context of a course I am teaching in Winter 2011 - www.dr-chuck.com/si791-sak/ - members of the Sakai community are welcome to join my course.
The document provides an overview of the Sakai community and project. It discusses the origins of Sakai as an open-source collaboration and learning environment started in 2003 by several universities. It notes that the Sakai Foundation was established in 2005 to provide coordination, infrastructure, licensing, and conferences for the community. Key facts presented include that Sakai has around 300-350 installations worldwide, strong attendance at international conferences, and ongoing development work.
This was given 2012-Oct-30 in Andorra at the SIEE 12 conference. This was s little over-the-top even for me. At least it is thought-provoking. I think that I need to make it more tangible and real.
This document summarizes Dr. Charles Severance's work over the past 20 years developing open source education technologies and standards. It shows his early work developing asynchronous video courses in the late 1990s, contributions to the Sakai and Moodle open source projects, and leadership in establishing the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability standard in the late 2000s to allow tools to integrate with learning management systems. More recently, his goal has been to create an "app store for learning applications" to empower teachers and learners to easily find, use, and create new educational technologies.
This is my talk from the 2011 Blackboard Developer's Conference July 11, 2011. It was a lot of fun and ended with a chaotic demo of a new feature connecting Sakai and Blackboard CourseSItes. Recorded version of this coming.

The document discusses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), which aims to standardize how external tools integrate with learning management systems (LMS). It outlines the problems LTI aims to address, its proposed solution of a common plugin standard, and the goals of the Basic LTI specification, which provides a minimal but useful subset of LTI features. It also provides examples of LTI in use and certification to ensure tools and LMSs can reliably interoperate.
New Opportunites to Connect Learning with LIS and LTIJohn Lewis
Today's students and teachers are active in an ever-growing number of group-based learning and collaborative environments. From Facebook, Wordpress, Pearson MyLabs, Sakai, Moodle and more, there is a need to provide a reliable source of student, course and enrollment information to each of these various platforms. In addition, once the students and courses are provisioned into the group-based environments, the learning tools themselves need to be able to interact effectively in order to provide a seamless learning experience for both students as well as faculty. The IMS members have been working on 2 specifications to critical for enabling the interoperability of source learning information, as well as learning tools. After highlighting the current progress of both LTI and LIS, we will demonstrate a Sakai instance which can simultaneously get authoritative course and enrollment data via LIS (using Oracle's SAIP), and also connect seamlessly to external tools such as Wordpress via Basic LTI.

EuSakai: Directions for Standards in Teaching and LearningCharles Severance
This document summarizes the history and future direction of standards in teaching and learning within the Sakai project. It discusses how Sakai has been essential to progress in open standards over the past decade through its support of standards like IMS LTI and IMS CC. It notes that Sakai 2.9 currently has excellent built-in support for these standards. Finally, it states that Sakai is well positioned to continue leading the industry in advancing portability and interoperability through its upcoming work on standards like LTI 2.0 and Lesson Builder APIs.
- The document discusses proposed changes to the Sakai framework to introduce the concepts of hierarchy between sites and sections (groups) within sites.
- This would allow sites to be connected in parent-child relationships and for permissions and content to flow down the hierarchy. It would also allow additional groups to be created within sites.
- Tools would need to be designed to optimally make use of these new capabilities, either ignoring hierarchy, rolling up/down content, or being fully aware of hierarchy. The framework changes would enable both hierarchy and sections to be implemented before redesigning tools.
Tsugi and Koseu are open source software tools that allow anyone to easily build and deploy standards-compliant educational websites, content, and learning applications.
Tsugi acts as an "app store" that hosts learning applications and provides API libraries for developers to integrate their tools using open standards. Koseu is an educational website builder and content hosting platform, providing a simple "LMS-like" environment.
These tools aim to lower the barrier to developing and using interoperable educational technologies, helping train developers and allowing institutions and individuals to quickly create customized learning solutions.
Exploring the Next Generation Digital Learning Environment with TsugiCharles Severance
Tsugi is a next generation digital learning environment that allows for an educational app store and interoperability between different learning tools and content repositories. It fills gaps between existing standards like IMS Learning Tools Interoperability and IMS Common Cartridge. For the first time, an app store or learning object repository can be created without proprietary extensions. Tsugi aims to make educational technology startups and tools that teach easier to build, enrich open educational content, and allow for seamless integration and reuse of content across different systems through open standards.
CloudSocial: A New Approach to Enabling Open Content for Broad ReuseCharles Severance
This document summarizes several projects related to open educational resources and learning management systems. It discusses the CloudSocial project, which aims to enable tools from any learning system to be embedded in open web content. It also mentions the University of Michigan Medical School's efforts to develop a next generation LMS beyond traditional course-based systems. Finally, it introduces CloudCollab, an open source LMS written in Python that intends to implement IMS standards and allow hosting tool instances for multiple organizations.
The document discusses the next generation of digital learning environments (NGDLE). It argues that the NGDLE will not be a single application like current learning management systems, but rather an ecosystem of learning applications from an app store. Standards like IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and the emerging IMS Content Item and CASA App Store specifications will allow learning applications from different vendors to integrate and interoperate within the NGDLE ecosystem. The NGDLE is predicted to have over 100,000 learning applications accessible to teachers and students.
This was my presentation at "Jornada TELSpain: "eLearning 2020: empresas y universidades"
http://symposium.uoc.edu/event_detail/3133/detail/jornada-telspain.html
The document summarizes how universities are using MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) to reimagine teaching and learning. It provides examples of positive results from MOOC programs at the University of Michigan and Coursera. Enrollment numbers and revenue from Coursera courses are increasing significantly each year. MOOCs allow universities to offer educational opportunities to millions of students worldwide at low or no cost.
Charles Severance discusses the future of Sakai and next generation teaching and learning systems. Key points include:
1) Sakai-11 will have an improved, more flexible user interface and improved lessons tool. It will move to a continuous upgrade model and improve multi-tenancy.
2) Standards adoption is increasing and Sakai scores well compared to other learning management systems.
3) Next generation teaching and learning systems will have small modular learning management systems with features from abundant app stores and content repositories. This will allow scaling from hundreds to millions of students.
The document discusses the next generation of teaching and learning tools beyond traditional learning management systems (LMS). It outlines some of the key tenets of next generation tools, including being smaller and scalable, relying on external app stores and content repositories, and having more powerful authoring capabilities. Some early examples in this emerging space are mentioned, focusing on repositories, app stores, and platforms that combine small LMS functionality with external apps and content. Standards alignment is also discussed as important for next generation tools. The document concludes by suggesting how open source projects like Sakai could ensure survival by embracing these next generation approaches.
The document summarizes the history of learning management systems (LMS) in three acts based on a three-act story structure. Act 1 describes the early days of individual LMS vendors. Act 2 covers the period of rapid adoption and growth of many LMS vendors during the "gold rush". Standards organizations like IMS began working on interoperability standards to connect different systems. Act 3 suggests the LMS market is shifting towards a more open, interoperable "post-LMS" ecosystem driven by external tools and empowering teachers through standards.
1. Tsugi is a tool hosting framework that allows LTI tools to be installed and run within its PHP or Java-based container.
2. It emulates Moodle APIs and provides a multi-tenant environment for tools while keeping user data secure.
3. The framework supports LTI 1.x and 2.x specifications and can integrate other IMS standards like Caliper and CASA to host tools from an app store or custom sources.
Charles Severance discussed the history and updates of open standards for learning tools interoperability. He covered the development of LTI versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and upcoming versions 2.1 and 2.2. LTI aims to allow learning tools from different providers to integrate securely with learning management systems. Version 2.0 introduced a RESTful architecture using JSON and registration of tools to share capabilities. Version 2.1 will add re-registration capabilities. Common Cartridge and Caliper analytics standards also relate to advancing open interoperability.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
