Why do we need a Pedagogy Forum? As IMS notes: "The development of a framework that supports pedagogical diversity and innovation, while promoting the exchange and interoperability of e-learning materials, is one of the key challenges in the e-learning industry today". http: //www. imsglobal. org/learningdesign/ldv 1 p 0 pd/imsld_bestv 1 p 0 pd. html Centre for Educational Technology Interoperability Standards Copyright © 2001 Bolton Institute

Why do we need a Pedagogy Forum? § e-learning specifications are moving up from the infrastructural level and beginning to directly impact on pedagogical issues § important that the e-learning standards meet educational needs as well as fulfilling technical requirements § we need to generate a meaningful dialogue with those whose focus is on pedagogy.
