IMS Environment Teacher CD Off Campus Student On campus Student Authoring Tools Learning Resources IMS Mgmt System & Content Collaboration Tools Back office
What open technical standards can do n n Jumpstart “content” and educational environments for the Internet (and Intranet) Make it easier for developers to create and distribute content u don’t have to support proprietary servers u people can find it easily n Enable “any time, any where” learning
